Online store (temporarily) closed, kits still available through distributors

Leave a comment

A quick update: As of last Saturday night I am no longer taking orders for kits.

The easiest way to do this was to remove all inventory from Paypal’s online ordering system, so if you try to place an order you will get the dreaded “out of stock” error message.

Fear not!

Geiger Counter kits are still available through my distributors (click each logo to visit the corresponding product page):

Adafruit Industries

Maker Shed

HV Rescue Shields are available from:

Solarbotics

A huge thanks to everyone who took advantage of last week’s special pricing on Geiger Counter kits. Enjoy your new kit! (And if you need help getting it working, I’ll still be monitoring the support forums, so ask your questions there.)

Thanks again!

Just a few Geiger Counter kits left, online store closes tomorrow at midnight

Leave a comment

This week only, $99.95 gets you a Geiger Counter kit with sensitive SBM-20 Geiger tube and a clear acrylic case.

Thanks to everyone who has been taking advantage of the reduced pricing on Geiger Counter kits this week, there are just a handful left in stock.

If you’ve been holding out on placing an order, now might be a good time. There’s a fair chance that I’ll run out of kits before I close the online store at midnight tomorrow (CDT).

PS: There are still some HV Rescue Shields in stock as well.

Update: I have been asked if I am closing up shop permanently – hopefully not!  I plan to reopen the online store after I move to Seattle, but my new day job might slow down the process a bit. I’ll post updates as I get settled.

Here’s how to get your MightyOhm Geiger Counter working with Geiger Bot. These instructions were tested with an iPhone 4, but should work with other iOS devices (iPads and other versions of the iPhone).
