I am starting to get into the Arduino micro controllers I bet you could someone how rig one of those with a transmitter and make one yourself for way cheaper. Have fun writing the C++ coding though that will take hours upon hours!

Hanna magnesium checker would be nice.

You just gave me an awesome idea.

We can make a spectrometer that plugs into your smart phone which can do all of your tests (like each of Hanna's units combined into one) for about $35. No need to buy each individual checker, just need to get the reagents.

And the phone would have an app that would automatically log all of your measurements and plot them.

Ha. If I can, I will. I was planning on using the camera from the smartphone to save cost.
