OpenDLS

An open-source Dynamic Light Scattering device.

Disclaimer

• This project is at an early stage and is resealsed for research and development only.
• The hardware uses a laser source: handle with appropriate care and protection.

Description

This is the software part of a full project hosted on https://www.hackster.io/etienner/opendls-an-open-source-dynamic-light-scattering-bff60f.

At this stage, there are only two files:

1. 'ArduinoDLS.ino' file to use with Arduino IDE
2. 'OpenDLS.py' python script to collect data from the hardware and analyse it.

Usage

1. Open 'ArduinoDLS.ino' in the Arduino IDE, compile and upload to the Arduino.
2. Leave the Arduino connected with the USB cable.
3. Open 'OpenDLS.py' with a text editor, set the address of the Arduino.
4. Launch 'OpenDLS.py N' in a terminal, with N is the number of time series to collect from the Arduino. You may need to install some Python libraries.
