description Abstract We provide a technical report on designing an Arduino-based wireless spectrometer using an old spectrometer. The designed spectrometer is environmentally friendly and cost-effective and can be used in physical and analytical laboratories. The Arduino-based wireless spectrometer enables students to understand the fundamental theory of spectroscopy and wireless communication among instruments. The rotating motions of the mirror and grating turret inside the spectrometer are controlled by a pre-written source code based on the Arduino program. This procedure can give an insight into spectroscopic analysis and telecommunication skills using computer-based software. Using our customized spectrometer, we measure Raman spectra from a silicon wafer, 4-nitrobenzenethiol, and rhodamine 6G, which serve as representative Raman probe molecules. From our results, we conclude that our approach provides intuitions for wide applications of Arduino-based chemical instruments. Graphical Abstract
