Arduinos and the X-Ray Diffractometer

For Ithaca College's Senior Project, it is required that a student develop an idea for a project, as well as the budget, goals, proposal, and design of the project itself. This project discussed in this presentation is developing a connection between an Arduino and the X-Ray Diffractometer owned by Ithaca College. The goal is to have the diffractometer and Arduino communicate easily and allow for data to be taken during the experiment easily. We wanted to make sure that students would be able to take, as well as save, data in the simplest way possible.
