With this sleek Geiger counter kit, you can detect particles or create a cool random number generator. The easy - to - assemble parts transform a simple Geiger - Muller tube (included) into a portable, blinking and beeping radiation detector. Connect an FTDI friend to the header for serial output and log data on your computer. We had a great time putting this kit together in just a couple of hours and using it near smoke detectors, bananas, and more. It comes with all components (PCB, tube, & parts), but you'll need basic soldering tools and two AAA batteries. Remember, this kit is for educational use only. Don't use it in life - threatening radiation situations or rely on the data for accurate radiation exposure measurement. Stay safe!
Using this Geiger counter kit is fun and easy. First, gather your basic soldering tools and two AAA batteries. Then, assemble the parts in the kit around the included Geiger - Muller tube to turn it into a portable radiation detector. If you want to log data on your computer, connect an FTDI friend to the header. When using it, you can take it around different places like near smoke detectors or fruits to listen for ticking sounds. But keep in mind, this kit is only for education. Never use it in dangerous radiation environments or rely on the data for measuring radiation exposure accurately. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place when not in use to make sure it works well for a long time.
