Very cheap, autonomous and precise spectrophotometer for DIY biology and chemistry.
Some issues are opened since 2017 and are probably not relevant anymore.

Put at least 16mil for trace width and if really necessary 9.8 seems to work.
Should go in the component library to align the sim800l

For some applications it it interested to have a UV led at 430nm. This would require alto to have more that 3.3V. We could add the pad just behind the...
Currently we need to tune manually the led resistors to get all the range of the spectrophotometer. We should do this by software: * MCP445x or MCP444x : digital potentiometer...
Check the possibility to make the spectro an I2C slave * need to reroute SCL SDA for slave operation. * use soft I2C for temp and digipot
