[0037] The size of the lower end of the flat starter 17 is adapted to the slot of the potentiometer 18; a sensor is arranged at the lower end of the flat starter 17, and the sensor is a precision conductive plastic potentiometer, and the internal structure is mainly a ring-shaped conductive plastic sheet. The working circuit is similar to a sliding rheostat. When the spectrometer rotates, the sensor is driven to rotate synchronously, the contact point of the sliding end changes, and the output potential also changes accordingly, so that the change in angle can be converted into a change in output potential. When the device rotates the telescope 23, the sensor coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 16 can be rotated synchronously, so that the potentiometer 18 can output different potentials according to the rotation angle.

[0038] The collimator frame 14 includes a first mounting frame 141 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the fixed rod 13, a pitch adjustment screw 142 and a horizontal adjustment screw 143 at both ends of the first mounting frame 141, a first reinforcing rib 144 connecting the mounting frame and the fixed rod 13, and a mounting ring 145 mounted at the ends of the pitch adjustment screw 142 and the horizontal adjustment screw 143; the collimator 15 is mounted inside the mounting ring 145 on the first mounting frame 141.

The voltage value of the potentiometer output pin is read through the ADS1115 analog-to-digital converter connected to the Raspberry Pi, and then the analog quantity is converted into a digital output. The rotation angle of the potentiometer is output on the LCD1602 display screen through the I2C communication protocol, realizing the digital display function of the spectrometer.
