The duders over at cookinghacks put together an Arduino based geiger counter. It's set up to click a speaker at every pulse for an immediate indication of radioactivity.

Because of the affordability and seeming ubiquity of the Arduino platform, they have been hard at work this last month trying to get their Geiger counter sensor board for an Arduino out the door.

Combining a Netduino Plus and a Geiger counter kit, a technical program manager at Microsoft named Fabien Royer created a tweeting radiation level monitor. Royer claims that his experience in ...

Geiger counters use the natural process of ionization to detect and measure radiation levels When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Next up is the Geiger counter interface software post. When a radioactive decay event is detected, the code reads out the time in milliseconds and uses that as the source of randomness.
