Geiger Counters

Any Geiger Counters that can work with ST ?
I got a GMC- 320 off Amazon and it can output data on a USB/ Com3: to a PC.
Any ideas ?

Ok, I’m curious now. What do you use this geiger counter for?

Counting the background nuclear radiation.
In units of mRems /hr or microSeiverts/hour or Counts Per Minute.

Probably have to write an app using node.js or similar on your PC or a raspberry pi to receive the data from the sensor and send it ST, then either a custom DTH or maybe a CoRE piston to interpret the incoming data depending on what you are wanting to do with it.

I’m more of a hardware guy…

Geiger Counters in Smarttiles/ST?

Hi, I have a GMC-320 Plus Geiger Muller Counter from GQ Electronics that I would really like to display in Smarttiles. It has a USB output which uploads data to their website periodically. I imagine that it’s possible to write a device handler for a PC to grab this and make it availlble in ST. Unfortunately this is beyond my skills. The data comes over COM3 virtual port on the USB and looks like this - GQ Electronics LLC GMC-300 Data Viewer Version 2.31 Date Time CPM 1s 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s 7s 8s 9s 10s 11s 12s 13s 14s 15s 16s 17s 18s 19s 20s 21s 22s 23s 24s 25s 26s 27s 28s 29s 30s 31s 32s 33s 34s 35s 36s 37s 38s 39s 40s 41s 42s 43s 44s 45s 46s 47s 48s 49s 50s 51s 52s 53s 54s 55s 56s 57s 58s 59s 60s 02/04/2017 10:01 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0…

Please avoid cross posting the same question to multiple categories. It makes it very difficult to follow possible solutions.

OK, got it.
