ABOUT THIS PROJECT #

In this tutorial you will learn how to assemble and use a nuclear radiation detector.
You can purchase the Geiger Counter Kit here.

A Geiger counter is an instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing

radiation. Also known as a Geiger–Mueller counter (or Geiger–Müller counter), it is
widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry, radiological protection,
experimental physics, and the nuclear industry.
Geiger counters are used to detect radioactive emissions, most commonly beta
particles and gamma rays. The counter consists of a tube filled with an inert gas
that becomes conductive of electricity when it is impacted by a high-energy
particle.

Supplies:
1 x Radiation Detector system Kit
1 x GM Tube
1 x Power supply cable
1 x Battery Holder
3 x Jumper Wires
4 x Nuts
1 x Acrylic cover
Description:
- Name:Radiation Detector system
Geiger tube parameters

diameter:Φ10±0.5mm
Total length: 90±2mm
Starting voltage: < 350V Recommended
operating voltage: 380V
Extreme operating voltage: 550V
Medium temperature: -40 ~ 55 ℃
Size:108x63x20mm

Step 2: Using the Geiger Counter With an

Arduino

$ PREVIOUS • • • • • • NEXT %

Connect P3 GND, 5V, VIN to Arduino GND, 5V, Digital 2 respectively.

Then in the arduino IDE software open the file: spi_rad_logger.ino which you
could find
Be sure to change the Serial.print(cpm) command to Serial.println(cpm) in the void
loop(){} for better readability.
Upload the program onto the board. Once upload is completed, open the serial
port window by clicking on the scope on the upper right corner.
Then we’ll get the radiation value displayed in CPM, counter per minutes which
could be converted to uSv/h with the index 151(151CPM=1uSv/h for M4011 GM
Tube).
