Geiger Counter
« on: July 24, 2023, 08:09:59 PM »
I found a good deal on a Geiger Counter and decided to add the output to my website and while looking around for a way to do this it seems this is not very common. How many people here have a Geiger Counter and found a way to add the data to their website. I made a quick little web page and would be interest to see what others have done.

As soon as I post this their site went down and I have no reading on my site. I guess that could be why no one is doing this.  :roll:

Looks like it's working again.

I've been running a  GM-10 from blackcat systems for some years, and more recently a Netio GC10 which is linked to an arduino Uno and ethernet shield.

These are my pages
Gm-10

GC10

There are probably better options out there now, back then there was little choice, will take a look at the model you are using as Gm-10 getting on

I had one I put together about a year ago that sends MQTT to my system to be logged. Then I got bored because the reading NEVER REALLY CHANGED (Thank goodness!). I actually powered it back up last weekend and verified it worked, but I think it'll have to look prettier to justify its existence.

I jut took a cheapie kit from Electronics Goldmine, removed the LED and swapped in an optoisolator. Easy peasy input signal to an ESP32. Unfortunately it's a pretty slow opto, so I cant detect pulses that are too close or fast, but it's not really about accuracy I guess...
