Geiger Counter NE555 Module Unboxing

► Buy this Geiger Counter: www.banggood.com/custlink/Dmv...
Hi, Today I'll show you this Geiger Counter module which I purchased on Banggood for around 25$
I bought this Geiger counter mainly for two reasons:
1) It can be interfaced with Arduino Uno R3
2) The price is really cheap!
This counter mounts a Miller Tube with an operating voltage of 380V.
I have some ideas for this module, I would like to do a portable geiger counter or create a fixed monitoring station (interfacing Arduino) in order to have a precise reading of the radiation on a LCD display.
This Geiger counter could be used for:
- γRay 20mR/h～120mR/h
- βRay in range 100～1800
- Beta and Gamma radiation detetion.
Features of this Counter:
- 5V power supply,
- Sound and Light alarm
- Ardunio compatible
- supports most of the Geiger tube
- 330~600V operating voltage for Geiger tube
- Support computer data acquisition

That bibop is always there, it's normal. there's always some small radiation from Earth, it's not harmuful, humas got used to it a long time ago. very interesting device for a very affordable price

[@Stefano91ste]

Hi, Thank you very much for the clarification, I didn't think that these normal radiations were detectable by such a small instrument.. then I have a little concern for the latest events in Russia 😅

[@audiodood]

Im thinking of buying the kit version of this

[@theproud77]

Where to get the kit version? I searched everywhere.

👍

[@theelectronmachines]

interesting, what do u think of my stuff?

[@grhinson]

Do LCDs radiate?

[@Stefano91ste]

It is possible to connect this module to Arduino to have an LCD display with precise radiation measuring

[@JorgeRodriguez-it8pr]

Yes but not in a harmful way, exist two kind of radiation, high and low energy, display radiation is low energy and we cannot detect it with a Geiger counter

[@omarkhaledk11]

Pretty late reply but yes, LCDs radiate very harmful radiation called light.
JK, but seriously though LCDs only emit light, and in the LCD there are two types of light sources (Backlight), LEDs (These are the Displays that are called LED displays) and fluorescent sources. The old CRTs however produced low amounts of x-ray radiation.

Preaty cool but where's the converter for the miller tube?

[@Stefano91ste]

do you mean the converter to raise the voltage? in this case everything is included in the module

[@pileofstuff]

I'm guessing one of the 555s is working with one (or more) of the transistors and the inductor to be a basic boost convertor.
The detection tube doesn't need a lot of current at that high voltage.

Hai dimostrato il prodotti senza provarlo con un elemento radioattivo ?? Che razza di dimostrazione è scusa , senza vedere il funzionamento !!

[@Stefano91ste]

Ciao, è solo un video unboxing.. infatti nel video dico che ho un paio di idee per questo contatore. Prossimamente uscirà un video in cui assemblerò questo modulo in un case stampato con stampante 3D ed una volta completo lo testerò con qualcosa di leggermente radioattivo.

@@Stefano91ste bhe bisogna prendere una stecca ti tungsteno toriato è si faceva la prova senza box .

[@Stefano91ste]

Colpa mia, ora ho aggiunto “unboxing” nel titolo- Per il test pensavo a qualcosa di più vivace tipo la camera a ioni che vendono su banggood.. devo essere certo che non sia pericolosa..
