I have amended the default software to control the 3 LED indicator.
This indicator works as follows: on boot shows that it is alive (working)
then if radiation dose rate exceeds 0.5uSv/h then yellow LED is lit. If dose rate exceeds 1uSv/h yellow and orange LEDs are lit and if dose rate is over 1.2uSv/h then all three LEDs yellow, orange and red are lit. As you can see this change works together with LCD and serial connection. So if you just need to have a rather simple Geiger counter (without LCD) you can do it with three leds: yellow - just warning of some radiative anomaly, orange - informing that a person should not be in that place more than several hours and red - advising to hide or leave instantly.
the connection of LEDs which is supposed by software is in the picture below
The software sketch for SMB-20 and is below:
/* Geiger Counter Kit - Default Sketch (v5b.1) bHogan 7/29/11
* Ammended with 3 LED threshold indicator by impexeris on ebay.com on 08/22/11
*
* if you use si29BG (СИ29БГ) I would suggest the ratio of 102 or 101.5
Counts events/min. and outputs CPM & ~uSv/hr to LCD display and also to serial port.
* Sample period shortens with increase in counts. Bar graph on LCD
* One of 2 conversion ratios can be selected via jumper. ACCURACY NOT VERIFIED
* v4 adds check for voltage at the uC to indicate a low battery voltage
* v5 add seperate counterfor serial - set at 1 min to give CPM without rounding
*
* SETUP: (Any 2x16 Hitachi HD44780 compatible LCD)
* +5V LCD Vdd pin 2 >>> Gnd LCD Vss pin 1, and R/W pin 5
* LCD RS pin 4 to D3 >>> LCD Enable pin 6 to D4
* LCD D4 pin 11 to D5 >>> LCD D5 pin 12 to D6
* LCD D6 pin 13 to D7 >>> LCD D7 pin 14 to D8
* LCD LEDA pin 15 to ~1K to +5 >>> LCD LEDK pin 16 to GND
* 10K pot: - ends to +5V and Gnd, wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
* *INT from Geiger circuit is connected to PIN 2 and triggered as FALLING.
* PIN 9 - jumper to GND if secondary conversion ratio is desired
