For older revisions, please have a look at the other branches. A comparison between the 4.0 and 3.x hardware can be found here. This project is also on Hackaday.io, where I post important project updates and other announcements! Open hardware for a hackable gamma spectrometer all-in-one device using a popular NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal and a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). Extremely affordable design for a powerful DIY gamma spectroscopy setup with a total parts cost of around 200 USD if you get all the individual parts and assemble them on your own. The detector uses a standard serial-over-USB and hardware UART connections so that it can be integrated into as many other projects as possible, for example data logging with a Raspberry Pi, weather stations, Arduino projects, etc. It includes both scintillation counter and multichannel analyzer (MCA) functions depending on how you want to use it. If you want a more barebones version of the Open Gamma Detector to only count pulses or similar, you can have a look at the Mini SiPM Driver board. Features Here are some of the most important specs: - Compact design: Total size 120 x 50 mm. Approx. 70.5 x 50 mm area for electronics and additional 49.5 x 50 mm to mount a scintillator. - All-in-one: No external parts (e.g. sound card) required to record gamma spectra. - Standalone spectra recordings on built-in flash. - Easily programmable using drag-an","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/OpenGammaProject","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/OpenGammaProject/Open-Gamma-Detector/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
