Ocean Optics has introduced a new set of spectral sensing tools for agricultural researchers and producers. Measuring crops and vegetation with spectroscopy is simpler and more cost-effective than existing camera-based techniques, illuminating previously unseen color and light characteristics. The STS Developers Kit brings together its powerful STS spectrometer, a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, customizable software, and wireless capabilities in a single package for integrating spectral sensing quickly and easily. Compact and lightweight, the STS can be integrated into unmanned vehicles to be deployed by land, sea or air.
Once connected to a WiFi network, the spectrometer can be controlled through phone, tablet or computer web browser. The development platform makes it fast and easy to customize the kit to specific projects.
The core of the kit is Ocean Optics’ STS microspectrometer. The tiny STS delivers maximum power in a small footprint. Its optical design and advanced CMOS detector elevate the STS to performance levels comparable to larger and more expensive spectrometers.
The STS Developer Kit offers the choice of three different sized models.
