Re: B&Wtech 473nm unit / Spectrometer Mods & Info
I picked up one of these units on eBay (the 17USD ones without the laser) and have been playing with it. The filter baffle removal info presented here was very useful.
I also have access to a copy of BWSpec. However, it seems that it wont work with these modules. BWSpec appears to only work with USB versions of the BWTek modules. Those devices appear to use a Cypress logic FX2 USB interface. That part (and no other part with a USB interface) is not present on these boards unfortunately.
I guess it maybe possible to add this, but would be some work. Perhaps the USB interface board is designed to sit on one of the headers?
If anyone has any information regarding the USB interface on the BWTek spectrometers I would be very interested!
