MightyOhm Geiger Counter kit featured in the latest video by The Current Source
The Current Source recently released a video about radioactivity, Geiger counters, and Derek’s battle with Thyroid cancer. (Great news, he’s now cancer free!)

Schrödinger’s Martini: Geiger Counter as mixologist
Josh Meyer and Jonathan Foote created this scintillating cocktail robot for Barbot 2013. They also exhibited it at the DNA Lounge Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge last July.
A MightyOhm Geiger Counter samples radioactive decay from a martini glass that contains a small amount of uranium. If the number of clicks in a set period is even, the robot dispenses vermouth into the glass. If the count is odd, it dispenses gin, therefore creating a wet or dry martini based on the random process of radioactive decay.
Adding an ESP8266 + OLED Interface to the Mightyohm Geiger Counter
Icarus has written a tutorial on connecting the MightyOhm Geiger Counter to an ESP8266 module and OLED display. His code (written in LUA for NodeMcu) is available on github. He is using the Wemos D1 mini board.
Verbose Mode: Mightyohm.com Geiger Counter Kit and Radiation
Chad Lawson is posting a series of videos about learning to make things on his site at verbosemode.tv.
In his most recent video, Chad talks about radiation, radiation therapy, and his experiences building (and fixing) the MightyOhm Geiger Counter Kit.
Thanks for the kind words, Chad!
