Here's a nice reuse of the geiger housing from Y1962 by Craig from Canada!

this is an project by Craig from Canada, who has installed the SMD version of electronics into the enclosure from year 1962

uses SI-8B tube

New modification of the bottom for SI-8B (СИ-8Б) tubes of the factory made quality ABS plastic enclosure for SMD based kits

The written below concerns enclosures described in this post:

Nuclear Radiation Survey Meter in the factory made quality ABS plastic enclosure for SMD based kits (the direct purchase link inside)

Now instead only an opening for SI-8B (СИ-8Б) tube and the internal mounting bracket there is an external frame, which holds the protective net and accepts the original beta shield of the SI-8B tube.

A variation of the v.11.0.2 software (hence v.11.0.2p ) which in addition provides 20μS pulses on the Arduino D19 pin (better known as A5 or SCL) when the detector event is obtained by the micro-controller's interrupt pin from the detector (for forwarding to other micro-controller electronics )

Here below are links to the variation of the v.11.0.2 software which in addition provides 20μS pulses on the Arduino D19 pin (better known as A5 or SCL) when the detector event is obtained by the micro-controller's interrupt pin from the detector (for forwarding to other micro-controller electronics )

This is not a new version but rather a sideways customisation requested by a user, who wanted to connect Raspbery Pi to the geiger counter to use geiger data for random number generation.


Here are a few videos. The first one below is visually explaining the added function. Here the pulse width was intentionally made 10mS wide so that LED flashes are visible (note! in the software linked below the pulse is nearly 500 times shorter so if LED is connected flashes will not be visible)

(here where the resistor is connected is the ground pin, and the other is the signal pin)

(some LED flashes can be missed because of non-synch with the smartphone camera while filming)

in this next video, there is an oscilloscope screen showing the actual output pulse

Arduino libraries are here (don't forget to add them to you Arduino IDE libraries):

note 1:

The new board is driven by a 10MHz crystal. Please add a new board to your Arduino IDE.

Instructions how to add this board to your Arduino IDE using the Boards Manager  can be found here: https://github.com/impexeris/Arduino-Geiger-PCB/wiki

You can buy the new SMD based Geiger counter electronics on eBay here:

note 2: the pulse can occasionally get a longer  (i.e.35μS) if detector signal interrupt coincides with the generation of the pulse (as latter is short and generated by simple bit-bang process). This is still reasonably short as original pulses from detector are from 100 to 190μS wide due to properties of Geiger-Müllert tubes themselves. With such assumption and for convenience reason (so that existing header is used - such simple pulse generation technique was preferred to the more exact one)

note 3: due to short pulse time it is recommended to make connections using a shielded cable.
For example the microphone cable by running signal through the internal thread and connecting grounds through the shield.

Heres an interesting enclosing solution by Daniel from Czech Republic

Daniel managed to fit everything -  electronics, SBT11 pancake tube and even 9V battery in to this small - only 12 cm long enclosure!  Wonder how it looks like inside. Thank you for sharing the pictures Daniel!

Here's a truly exciting dosimeter-radiometer project with the Arduino IDE compatible easy DIY Geiger nuclear radiation counter kit at its heart by Oleg for your enjoyment

Oleg from Russia, has used the enclosure of the old (hand-dinamo powered) geiger detector DP-62 to build this exquisite almost hermetically sealed and solar rechargable dosimeter/radiometer.

Here are his photos for your enjoyment and stimulation of fantasy, as well as a short Oleg's description in Russian below the pictures:

Здравствуйте!
Наконец, мой проект закончен!
Благодаря Вам теперь у меня есть нормальный дозиметр в, пусть старом, но
добротном и герметичном армейском корпусе ДП-62, теперь не боязно по нашим горам гулять.

Ну хочется похвастаться.

Перепаял все кнопки(вынес наружу), (https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/1PC-Metal-Button-Switch-panel-hole-10MM-2A-36VDC-self-locking-3pin-soldering-IP65/32795709708.html )

Задействовал штатные окошки для самой трубки(закрыто слюдой для бэтты).

Перенёс светодиоды под штатные глазки(под линзой в центре- индикация пролёта гамма-кванта, красный глазок- аларм).

Там же под линзой рядом с жёлтым светодиодом и ИК-диод для настроек с пульта Сони.
