CREAR UN SENSOR DE RADIACTIVIDAD CON ARDUINO, SOFTWARE LIBRE, CONECTADO A LA RED RADMON.ORG

En este tutorial vamos a ver como crear un sensor de radiactividad con una placa arduino uno, mas software libre para programarlo, una placa geiger y enviar los datos a la red de sensores de radmon.org Tambien existen otras maneras mas directas como: Conectar la placa geiger directamente a un router linux con OpenWRT por el plug de audio. Conectar a una PC con windows por el plug usb o audio y el  software RAD Log Profesional.  Conectar a una PC con gnu/linux y un script bash para enviar los sensados a radmon.org

Código fuente de programación para Arduino para subir los cpm a radmon.org
https://github.com/rjelbert/geiger_counter

Arduino code for Geiger counter. Uploads CPM values to radmon.org every minute

/*
* Geiger counter Kit could get on: https://www.aliexpress.com search: geiger counter kit
* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* WHAT IS CPM?
* CPM (or counts per minute) is events quantity from Geiger Tube you get during one minute. Usually it used to
* calculate a radiation level. Different GM Tubes has different quantity of CPM for background. Some tubes can produce
* about 10-50 CPM for normal background, other GM Tube models produce 50-100 CPM or 0-5 CPM for same radiation level.
* Please refer your GM Tube datasheet for more information. Just for reference here, J305 and SBM-20 can generate
* about 10-50 CPM for normal background.
* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* HOW TO CONNECT GEIGER KIT?
* The kit 3 wires that should be connected to Arduino UNO board: 5V, GND and INT. PullUp resistor is included on
* kit PCB. Connect INT wire to Digital Pin#2 (INT0), 5V to 5V, GND to GND. Then connect the Arduino with
* USB cable to the computer and upload this sketch.

1 Cable de red para conectar el arduino al router de internet.

 


INSTRUCCIONES

1. Montar el Arduino Ethernet Shield W5100 sobre el ARDUINO UNO.


2. Conectar el cable de puente desde Geiger a Arduino
Geiger –> Arduino
pin 3 GND —> GND
pin 5V —> pin 5V
pin VIN —> pin 2


3. Conectar el cable USB desde la computadora al ARDUINO para dar energia y poder programarlo.

4. Registrarse en www.radmon.org luego editar tu perfil tomar nota del usuario y password para subir datos.

5. Software IDE Arduino se descarga desde https://www.arduino.cc/en/software luego de instalar, vamos a > Tools > Manage Library > Buscar por nombre e instalar librerias SPI y Ethernet.

6. Copiar y pegar el siguiente Codigo fuente libre https://github.com/rjelbert en un proyecto nuevo de Arduino. Luego editar la linea 142 cambiar YOUR_USERNAME y YOUR_PASSWORD por los creados en la registración de tu perfil de radmon.org

client.print("GET /radmon.php?function=submit&user=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD&value=");

7. Clic en el boton “SUBIR” en Arduino IDE.

8. Si no apareció ningún error…Listo ya funciona!

9. Verificar en la web radmon.org si está transmitiendo datos el sensor.
