ARDUINO Software and Serial-USB connection information:ON the cd you will find the FTDI driver and Arduino program version 1. Install both and restart your mac.Copy the Geiger Sketch folder to the same folder as your Arduino program is and remember where that is ashat will be where you go to save your sketch everytime you make a change to it. There will also be a Libraryolder that will also need to be in the same folder. Just remember that the folder has to be the same exactame as the sketch name is. And also within Arduino, you will have to go to preferences and show Arduino
where your default sketch folder is.
ARDUINO SETTINGS:. Open Arduino. Open the saved sketch .ino file, connect your Geiger counter to the USB with power switch off.. Verify the file by clicking the little check mark icon.. Click TOOLS, and Select Board type as Arduino UNO, and select serial port as the top tty choice.
. Click Serial Monitor (top right looking glass icon). Set Baud rate to 9600 and you should see the CPM, uSvnd geiger counter voltage data coming up once per minute.
For more info go to website under Software section on the DIY geiger counter website. Or go to Arduino.cc
Safecast SUGGESTED SETTINGS: (You will probably have to play with it to get it just right- and I used touse Geiger Bot, but it seems that Safecast is more stable and works everytime.)https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/safecast/id571167450?mt=8
RAD OSX free data logging for macs: (although you can use the included 3.5mm male to male 3 conduc-or to 3 conductor audio cable from the multiport to your PC or Macs MIC input, it works best with theFTDI/TTL USB cable below)http://www.blackcatsystems.com/GM/download.html
GEIGER GRAPH FOR PC NETWORKS:http://www.imagesco.com/geiger/geiger-graph.htmlcost is around $60. Usethe Optional FTDI3.5mm to USB cable) This is a PC only software. To purchasehe optional cable go to:www.mouser.com, and do a search for: FTDI/TTL-232R-3V3-AJ
HARDWARE. DIY Geiger counter kit V3.0 by Brohogan
http://www.sites.google.com/site/diygeigercounter/. LND 712 Geiger Muller Tube. Power System by Tenergy and Pololu (please charge the batteries fully before first use)
A. You can power the Geiger in a couple different ways1. With internal nimh batteries2. With USB cable plugged into data port on RIGHT side of geiger then plugged into:
a. Computer or laptop USB
b. 5V USB Wall charger block (not included)c. Standard 5v USB Cigarette adapter (not included)d. To power and operate the unit this way make sure POWER SWITCH IS IN OFF POSITION
- Its ok to have switch the on for a little while, but DAMAGE MIGHT OCCUR if left this wayfor long periods- best bet is NOT to do this.
e. For long usage of geiger counter (constant on for long periods) the preferred way to power itwould be to use the USB cable plugged in r ight FTDI port and power OFF.
POWER and OTHER SYSTEM ITEMS:A. (2) Tenergy Nimh AA battery - 1.2v 2600mAhhttp://www.batteryjunction.com/1po20aaba.html Full recharge in 3-7 hours, provides approximately 25-40 hour constant use of geiger counter Remove the batteries by unscrewing the battery compartment plate. Place in charger and charge.B. Pololu Step Up/Step Down Voltage Regulator S7V7F5http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2119

ND-712 GEIGER MULLER TUBE
nstalled inside the handmade custom mini probe is a END WINDOW LND 712 which senses Alpha, Beta and Gamma. The tube is secured
ide the aluminum tube with a rubber gasket and foam wrapping. Inside the tube is the specified anode resistor for the tube 10M ohm. It is th
wired to a BNC connector. You can attach the probe to your unit with either the mini BNC baton connector, or the 2 foot cable. Or any other B
able you might want to purchase yourself. One thing to know is that the longer the cable, the less sensitive the unit/tube will be.
