We have been working on our instrument for measuring chemical reaction kinetics and are working to document progress on our "Projects" page.  On this page, you will see photos of our rapid mixing apparatus, our flow cell for UV-vis absorbance and the products of our ef...

OK, so you damaged the microcontroller board on your WheeStat, probably by trying to plug in the usb cable upside down or trying to use the wrong style of usb cable,  or perhaps you were fooling around under the hood and fried the  electronic some how.  Anyway, the mic...

We are working to help further develop a low cost spectrometer design that was published online by B. Hickman.  To support this work, we are developing simple methods to make reflective optics. 

The figure to the left shows a screenshot of a parabolic reflector des...

We have begun work on the software for the Titraumatic, an automated titration apparatus that incorporates our syringe pump, a pH probe and software to coordinate an experiment.  Below is a screenshot from our first attempt at a pH titration.  While the instrument is s...

We recently purchased a MakerGear M2 3d printer to build parts for our syringe pump project  and have produced and tested a number of prototype pumps.   In addition to the printed plastic parts, the pumps use bearings, rods, a stepper motor and other available hardware...

Took delivery of our first production run of manufactured circuit boards.  Got headers and cable in today.  Now all we are waiting on is a shipment of usb flash drives  and ten meters of silver wire

The datalogger hardware is a slightly modified version of datalogger shield mounted on a Tiva LaunchPad development board.   Inputs were generated using a second Tiva LaunchPad outputting analog (pwm) signals of the form A = a*sin(bt)*sin(ct) and B = d*sin(bt)*cos(ft)....
