Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
GGLABS - Geiger-Müller Counter
Home: California, United States
GGLABS designs and builds a wide variety of electronic devices. This year we introduce our newly designed radiation meter for Arduino. The board is compatible with Arduino Uno, Arduino micro and Arduino MKR. Exhibit has a live meter measuring background radiation plus samples of common items that exhibit weak radioactivity. All our projects are open source and open hardware.

Like many other hobbyist we have always been fascinated by radioactivity and the sensors to detect it. Geiger-Müller tubes are a common and relatively inexpensive way to measure radiation. GRAD is a complete solution for radiation counting in an Arduino shield form factor. Its main features are dual tube support to increase sensitivity and very low power consumption.
