Based on your feedback, I made a few improvements to my Geiger Counter assembly instructions, including the addition of the very handy assembly drawing shown above.
This and a new full page Bill of Materials should mean less time hunting for which part goes where and more fun building the kit!
If you don’t have a kit, you can purchase one here. If you do, you can head straight to the new and improved assembly instructions.
Steve D of Mad Art Lab made this Giger Counter by taking one of my Geiger Counter kits and building a shell in the style of H.R. Giger. (It’s a Giger counter, get it?)
Check out this super creepy video of Steve’s Giger counter in action:
Nice work, Steve!

It took a while longer than I expected, but Geiger Counter and HV Rescue Shield kits are back in stock and shipping now.
News flash: Hardhack is running the Hardware Hacking Area at Toorcamp this year, which takes place on the Washington coast in just under three weeks! (The dates are August 8-12, 2012, and tickets are still available.)
I’ll be running two Geiger Counter Workshops. Come build a Geiger Counter kit!
I’ll have the Geiger Counter ambient music synth I built for Maker Faire set up, and we can all scout for fallout from Fukushima arriving at the campsite! Whoohoo!
Ben Krasnow demonstrates that the MightyOhm Geiger Counter kit is sensitive to X-rays. Thanks, Ben!
