I am a new user trying to make use of the mini-foldable spectrometer with my phone. The images I get have very bright lines and yet the intensity is labeled as 7% or lower. How do I get the intensity up?
Thanks for sharing the link. Because you're using an uploaded image, the top row of pixels is quite dark, and that's the one used as your cross-section line.
That looks much better and makes a good calibration. But note that since your spectrum is curved, the choice of cross-section will shift your calibration left or right depending on what height it is. You'll need to ensure all your data has the same cross-section if you want to compare it or use this calibration for other readings.
Can you link to your spectra so I can see?

I tried forking your spectrum and selecting a new cross-section: https://spectralworkbench.org/spectrums/89900

Hope that helps!
