New product: Laser-cut Case for the Geiger Counter Kit
I’m happy to announce the release of a custom laser-cut case for the Geiger Counter kit!
The case, which is made of high quality clear acrylic, comes with standoffs and all the hardware needed to assemble it.
The case includes access holes for the HV adjustment, the piezo beeper, and the mute button.
There are also cutouts for the battery compartment and the serial/ICSP/pulse headers.
A pushbutton switch with a 17mm long plunger is included with the case. This can be optionally installed in place of the existing microswitch S2 on the geiger counter. The long plunger makes the mute button easier to actuate with the case on.
Here is the kit with the new switch installed:
You can purchase a Geiger Counter kit with the case included or just the case by itself (f you already have a kit) over on the Geiger Counter kit product page or by clicking “add to cart” below.
Wifi Radio project mention in Popular Science
My Wifi Radio project got a shoutout in this month’s issue of Popular Science!
“Radio How You Want It” by Vin Marshall appears on page 78. Vin built a gorgeous Wi-Fi radio based on my plans. He also added a number of twists and new features, such as an analog signal strength meter and a graphic LCD display.
Nice work, Vin! Thanks for the mention!
… and Adafruit Industries!
Adafruit Industries is now selling my Geiger Counter kit!
Thanks to Phil and Limor @ Adafruit for making this happen!
(Woohoo!)
