Radiation detector openrelief
radiation-detector / README.md
Prototype of an ionisation chamber-based radiation detector for [OpenRelief](http://openrelief.org). Designed around a Nanode but could easily make use of another Arduino-compatible board with Ethernet.

Known issues include: * Code ceases to print measurements out to the serial port if Ethernet is not connected * No scaling in code * Chamber design needs optimising, e.g. tweaking its capacitance * Prototype makes use of 3 x 9v (PP3) batteries for chamber bias, and this needs replacing with an Arduino shield boost converter Electronic design (EDA) files are [KiCAD](http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/) format.
