off topic - did you get your geiger counter wired in?
- acidburnNSA 3y agoNot really. I did do enough work to be able to read count rate from a ESP8266 [1] but never actually installed it in the weather station. Since then, I got a scintillator detector [2] with a USB soundcard interface which would be way better for a weather station since it could actually identify isotopes in addition to count rate. So you could get alerts like "oh dang, I-131 detected in the air, take shelter."
