RH-K-GK-1-L
Unique project for soldering, sold not assembled! Free CR1220 3V battery included for RTC!
We supply link to download all required source files, you\'ll need to solder main board and SD shield by yourself!
If you need this item fully soldered please check my other items.
This is unique hardware with open source code Geiger SDLogger project based on Arduino IDE. The kit includes main board with16x2 LCD and SD Logger Shield. SD Shield has RTC circuit (real timeclock), 3.3V level shifter for SD card, Buzzer and micro SD socket.Support connection of Adafruit GPS module or UART logging through RXTX pins. Files on SD card contains CPM readings for each data point,your local date and time, nmea geographical data and total absorbeddose. 400V high voltage for GM Tube produced with PWM.Microcontroller program correct high voltage if battery capacity istoo low. The kit makes clicker sound similar to a “classic”Geiger counter sound.
Note: Geiger Tube, Enclosure, SD Card,Battery and TTL Module are not included in the purchase! This kitrequires good soldering skills to solder SMD, additional TTL dongle for uploading firmware andability to use Arduino IDE.

Radiation SD Logger based on Atmega-328and programmed with Arduino IDE. SD Shield has SMT parts that requiregood soldering skills! Atmega microcontroller comes with Arduino IDEbootloader, but you need to upload supplied sketches by yourself.
The main benefit of this kit is SDLogger Shield. It support micro SD Cards with capacity 2Gb-8GB.Radiation data stored with 3 files. Each time you starting thecounter, it will create a new log files and the older files stay safeon card. Up to 100 files can be created before you need to clear SDmemory. LOG.CSV store CPM readings for each data point. The file canbe opened with our \"Radiation Logger\" Windows applicationfor building graph or with any csv editor. LOG.TXT store local dateand time, CPM, aborbed dose accumulated since last minute and batteryvoltage. If GPS module connected, LOG.TXT will also store NMEAgeographical data. DOSE.TXT file keeps only total lifetime absorbeddose. User manual describes an example how you can export nmea datato google map and add CPM readings to the map.
The software and hardware wheredesigned to produce tube high voltage with PWM technology. Noadditional IC\'s required, everything is controlled with software. Bydefault it programmed to 400V-420V and you can make fine adjustthrough software calibration from 350V to 480V. If required, the kitcan be adjusted for 500V-550V. For higher voltage it possible to make600V hardware mode with voltage multiplier.
When using batteries for powering thecounter, you do not have to worry about tube voltage drops because oflow battery, microcontroller will correct high voltage if yourbattery capacity is half or low. Battery indicator on LCD will workonly with Ni-MH type.
The kit compatible with many popularGeiger tubes, such as SBM-20, SBM-19, SI-29BG, SI-180G, SBT-9,SBT-11, J305 and more 400V tubes. When it tuned to 500V you can useLND-712, LND-7317 or similar.
Current radiation dose in uSv/h oruRn/h units represented on LCD with CPM (counts per minute) readings.You can switch between LCD units with pressing \"down\"button. If you press \"up\" button, it will shows clock forseveral seconds, like a digital watches. RTC needs 3V backup batteryCR1220.
Adafruit GPS module can be connected toRX TX pins and selected through sketch settings during firmwareuploading. If no GPS presented, you can use RX TX pins for UARTlogging. CPM value logged through UART to our \"Radiation Logger\"Windows program. When connected to computer, the kit can be used asnuclear radiation monitoring station for local logs, radmon orxively. It possible to separate SD Shield from the Main Board if kitused only for UART logging.
Fast bargraph on LCD for search moderepresent CPS (count per second) measurement. The scale controlledthrough arduino sketch.
The counter has smart LCD backlightcontrolling for saving battery. Backlight will light on when CPMvalue reach presetted alert threshold or if you press any button.Alert BL pin is combined with LCD backlight and can be connected toadditional alert led or drive relay module.
The kit produce clicker sound beepssimilar to \"classic\" Geiger Counter sound. You can mutebuzzer with jumper removed. If radiation level is high, the kitinform you with additional sound indication.
Arduino software developer can modifydefault supplied sketch.
