There are quite a few geiger counter instructables. The difference with this one is that I wanted to give it a modern interface, similar to smart phone touch screens, that anyone would feel comfortable using. The reason for this is that I want to use it as an educational tool to teach kids (and interested adults!) about […]

We are three students from California College of the Arts in San Francisco in the Architecture program. This studio is called Creative Architecture Machines and is taught by Jason Johnson and Michael Shiloh. Webster is a geometric pattern weaving machine that takes inspiration from Islamic tiling, geodesic dome construction, weaving machines, and conventional 3D printers.

I teach Modern Physics here at CSUC, and we occasionally use isotopes with half-lives of a year or less (such as Zinc-65 and Cadmium-109) for energy-calibration sources for a gamma-spectroscopy lab. I thought it might be fun to try measuring the activity of one of these sources over time and thus get a looooong-scale half-life

How To Interface a CDV 700 Geiger Counter to a PC Using an Arduino (Part 1) The second part of our video series of our project to interface to a CDV-700 radiation meter using an Arduino Uno! How To Interface a CDV 700 Geiger Counter to a PC Using an Arduino (Part 2) Code: A
This instuctable is about making sort of a calculator that enables the user by using an analog 12-digit keyboard and 4 buttons to input the a,b,c variables into a equation and get the solution for it if there is any.(well if u don’t know what an second grade equation is probably u haven’t been in

This instructable builds on top of the Geiger counter triggered LED decorations I made last year. This version powers the Geiger counter from the Arduino (itself now powered from a mains adaptor, so I no longer need to keep feeding them batteries) and the LEDs now fade in and out for a more gentle effect.

Digital pins 1-7 are generally used as input pins and Digital pins 8-13 are used as output pins. Digital pins 9-11 can be used as analog output pins. That is, they can send they can send signal of variable voltage. 5/15/2012 Getting started with Arduino. I have skimmed through the “Getting Started with Arduino” and

This project brings back the old time Analog VU Meter, with the added functionality of a neat looking clock! When you turn off your music the meters automatically swing into to clock mode. Behind it all is the popular and easy to use Arduino. This is my submission for the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest: What did
Analog VU meter and Clock using Arduino Continue Reading
This is just a fun project I have been working on in the last little while. If you like this instructable, consider voting for it in the Arduino Challenge! Anyone who has experience with programming will have probably used random numbers in their code. These random numbers aren’t actually random though. They are actually generated using
