The uRADMonitor® KIT1 is an open-source IoT sensor, designed to be highly configurable and easy to hack. By default, it comes with a Geiger tube and an Ethernet module, making it perfect for autonomous radiation monitoring. You can order a pre-assembled unit here.

Launched in 2016 during our first IndieGogo crowdfunding campaign, KIT1 has inspired makers worldwide. The full source code and hardware blueprints are available on GitHub, and over the years enthusiasts have built their own versions – adding features like WiFi, embedded batteries, and even a sleek acrylic case by ukewarrior. Wolferl that had a huge contribution helping the uRADMonitor community also created a tutorial on how the code can be compiled. Maker Artifex went even further, building dozens of KIT1 units and sparking entire DIY radiation monitoring communities, see two below. There were so many that contributed to this project and we are grateful to each of them. This is the beauty of #opensource and of a strong community working together:

Now, as we look back at this design, we’re excited to release a new 3D-printable case to the public GitHub repo. Compact and practical, the case measures just 11×6×2 cm, and its snap-fit lid requires no screws.

🚀 Stay tuned — KIT1 is about to get a fresh new look!
