Yes I do, it has an upgraded aperture to breakdown the light output by spectrum from 200nm - 600nm.

WOW! Is that a sensor or a meter?
If it's a sensor, where do I get one?

It is a sensor, I needed it to measure up to 16 w/cm^2 without washing out. The software will display a real time graph of all of the wave lengths being produced by a light source.  Where I got it, and had it customized is a different story for a later date!

It shocks the operator when they shut the press down with no apparent reason!!!!
Is that it????

Did you build it Pierre?

I see Arduino ultrasonic sensor but those are just "commonly used for..." sensor breakouts and could be used for anything.

yes, it's Arduino based . . . cheap  and easy to set up.

That would be the best tool ever.

Neat.  So in the USB mode it's like a flash drive?

You use a RTC module, or does it fake time from the clock?

not working as a flash drive, only an SD card for logging. There is a way to reprogram the Arduino to make it do that, but it's beyond my current (starting) skillset. I am thinking about making it Bluetooth as am not certain of the security issues with WiFi on Arduino.
Yes, it uses a real time clock (RTC) module so it keeps track of dates (needed for the data analysis).
