Meanwhile I’ve done my own implementation but written in Perl.
Some key features are:
– automatic conversion to uSv/h when generating the graphs (the conversion is done using the appropriate factor for the detector present in the device);
– works with model A2 (pressure graphs).
wnettles, here, and I just powered up a model A unit in Jacksonville, FL USA. I am also new to blogs and web forums, so, please be kind. You will normally find me submerged in some robot somewhere on Florida’s east coast. You can tell it’s me when you see the souls of my shoes sticking out of the machine!
Radu was a lot of help and the unit seems to be reporting to the server quite nicely.
Now, if anyone can tell me how to get my icon to show up at the correct spot on the map, I would appreciate it. Icon appears a bit south of where I am actually located. Don’t know where the data is coming from for this, but, I can give better GPS coordinates, if that would help.
Anyway, just wanted to shout out for the first time and let yall know that I am out here. First unit in north east Florida (Jacksonville) area! Whoopee!
Look forward to hearing from yall. Have a great summer!
uRADMonitor KIT1 is the first open source DIY dosimeter KIT, that can be used to collect radiation measurements and push them to the uRADMonitor network. Similar to model B that is to be released later this year, the KIT1 is intended for those interested in building their own radiation devices and contribute to the uRADMonitor network.
They look quite good I’ll have to have a play with them over the weekend and see what I can come up with 🙂
I have found the reliability of the station to be a bit hit and miss so far, I was considering something like the AirPi and adding wind/rain to it but I may wait to see what which sensors Radu goes with on the new model D and start from there so that data is comparable on the global network.
All my monitoring is running on a Raspberry Pi Model B 2. It seems to cope with the load and it doesn’t use much power.
I used to use a weather station like you have (WH1080) with WeeWx, but upgraded to the WH3080 for the UV and Solar Radiation data, but there’s something wrong with my sensors and the data is useless, so I don’t even display them on the current observations page.
This is a very good idea to have additional layers on the map, like nuclear power plants, hazardous places (e.g. Chernobyl), radioactive waste management facilities, natural (e.g. mines), etc.;
As a matter of fact I’ve already started to aggregate data about npps from various sources. Afterwards I was thinking to release it on GitHub.
My data structure is something more complex. SQL table structure below:
I was using a cheap USBasp from China (Model betemcu.cn), and I desoldered a CMS resitor to have 3.3V.
For those having communication troubles (USBasp appear to be incorrectly working), there is a fix. There is 220 Ohms resistors between SPI lines that sometime broke connection. Just remove them. See this post (with image): http://www.rc-cam.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3827-er9x-hacks/?p=27092
I did the upgrade on a Mac Os (hackintosh), using CrossPack fro AVR (the one featured in Radu article).
Everything went good, and I have a nice and powerful unit with JSON reading! 😀

I’m running Unit number 42000001 in Orlando, FL, USA and was having some trouble with my Unit – it’s a very old model, one of the first Radu produced and needs custom firmware, anyway, I removed it from it’s position outside and was running it in my basement office for a few minutes when I noticed CPM’s of 25-35. My avg outside, 20 feet away (and above ground level) is 5-7 CPM.
I have done a Radon test in my basement level before (although not in this particular room) and it came back ‘normal’.
Also, the unit is now back outside and it’s now reporting 15 CPM – significantly higher than it’s ever been before, out there.
So, how long before my hair falls out and I do an “Alexander Litvinenko” (i.e. die horribly)?
Just an update, to let you know that the server API is changing to a REST model, and so will allow easy configuration for any custom units. So we’re getting closer to what you all have requested.
Great to hear that. Let’s discuss the proper formatting and the JSON issue here if you wish.
You’ve indicated the minimum content for a valid HTML5 format:
<!doctype html><html lang=en>
<head><meta charset=utf-8><title>blah</title></head>
<body><p>I'm the content</p></body></html>
I agree, but we have a big problem: memory (RAM).
uRADMonitor model A uses the mega328p, which has a total of 2KB RAM. There is also 1KB of EEPROM (where HTML static text like the one you’ve indicated could be stored).
BUT,
To send data over Ethernet we need to maintain a buffer. This is already 400bytes long (consuming almost a quarter of all available memory). Adding the doctype, the head, any metas, the title, body or any other formatting would consume precious memory, a total of 125Bytes that we don’t have (hashing, RSA, etc will eat any free memory, and we need those to secure comm links)
So the best bet might be to go with absolute minimum, letting the browsers go for default.
What browser did you use? Do you see it in all browsers you have at hand?
(I tried in two and didn’t see this issue, so we need to see where this is coming from).
Also with your spoofed DNS, I’m curious what do you see under Server IP in the embedded web-page?

Hei.
the problem with ALL mobile broadband(3g/4g). is that isp runs transperntproxy with firewall that blocks lots off traffick. To turn off the proxy og firewall you need to set “APN” in norway its :
netcom: vpn.netcom.no
telenor: internet.public
To find the apn and pleas post router model nr and isp/phone company. (if you need config help)
