ParticipantHi,
I am Karl located in Alabama, USA … Unit 110000C8
Plugged in to router inside just to be sure I have
hardware to support the uRad before mounting outside.
Very nice to be a part of this project.February 16, 2016 at 8:44 pm #2796Konk
ParticipantHello there,
I’m Rainer from Germany and just installed my supercool Rad Monitor in my home. At the moment it sits on my desk, but I will try to get the cables outside to have better readings. I really liked the setup process: Plug in – done. Great work Radu!
My device is 110000DD.
My device in new window
I joined this project on Indigogo because I like to play with all kind of sensors. Temperature und humidity are easy, but I did not have a radiation monitor so far.
I’m really happy to be part of the network š It would be interesting for me, how the other German users came across this project.
Best wishes šMay 28, 2016 at 8:46 am #2956DonReid
ParticipantHi everyone, I’m Don from Finland (Originally from the UK). I am an Infrastructure support team lead. My spare time is mostly spent trying not to release blue smoke from components. I have just received and installed 12000006.
Looking forward to being part of this great project.
Regards, Don.

ParticipantHi all.
Dave from Malaysia – just built unit 5100006A this evening & it worked immediately. First unit in South East Asia by the looks of it.
Electronics Engineer by training but Software Engineer by profession these days, specialising in big data collection & analysis.
So hobbies are environmental monitoring around the house as well as power monitoring, aircraft (flightaware) and ship (AIS) tracking & sharing.Kit build was easy except the 3 diodes supplied were a little big & didn’t fit nicely. And was thinking from the instructions that I had to program the Atmel but luckily I didn’t.

KeymasterHey DPB , congrats on running the very first uRADMonitor in that part of the world! Are the coordinates ok or do they need any adjustments? Also would love to see a few pics with your construction, we have a thread for that, please post a few there: https://www.uradmonitor.com/topic/soldering-the-kit1/

ParticipantHello from Groton Connecticut.
I am running unit 110000E7, which is still indoors. As soon as I get some time I will move it outside so get more accurate numbers.
Is there a way to adjust its placement on the map? I am many miles off base currently. This is significant as I am in proximity to several installations of nuclear reactors which is partly why I chose to participate in this project.June 11, 2016 at 8:40 pm #3028Radu
KeymasterJust send me the coordinates you want it to show at (in decimal formal) and the city name. There will be a feature to change the coordinates yourselves, directly, but it is not yet ready.

ParticipantHello all. This is Abraham, from Guadalajara, Mexico, running unit #5100001D. It was a couple of hours of fun, assembling the kit. Now that it is running, i find myself concerned with the average high readings that i am getting (around .3 uS/H). Can this be a problem with the geiger tube, or are we really being slowly cooked? I have also posted a few pictures of my assmebly process, and put in a request for coordinate adjustment, as the unit shows a bit off in the map. Anyway, its nice to meet yall, and to become a part of this community. Bye for now!

KeymasterHi Abraham, and welcome!
Indeed your readings are higher. We’ll need to expand the network in your area and have some redundancy on the measurements.

ParticipantHi all,
I’m Stefanos from Athens and i would like to join the network with my DYI build of the KIT-1.1.103.
The unit is located at 37.912384, 23.750778 at an altitude of ~150m
I suppose that i also need a proper monitor ID to be assigned as the one from the .hex is already alive in Romania.Soon i will have an SMB20 tube to replace the temporarily used STS-5.
I also expect a BMP sensor to arrive soon that will be added on the pcb, waiting for the firmware support.July 18, 2016 at 4:50 pm #3207Radu
KeymasterHello Painter, welcome!
Your DIY unit looks great. I’ll send you a valid ID and some observations regarding the STS5 tube vs SBM20 via email.
Also, make sure to post your construction on https://www.uradmonitor.com/topic/soldering-the-kit1/ , for a chance to win an A2 unit.August 11, 2016 at 9:15 pm #3259Scherheinz
ParticipantHi
I’m Frank from Germany an build one unit last year. (Unit #51000002) Now it’s time to mount it outside with a tp-link 702n and then i would build antother one for a different place.August 17, 2016 at 6:35 pm #3266Keld Norman
ParticipantHi everybody!
Iām Keld Norman, located in Denmark.
I just finished installing my SBM20 detector today š
The unit is placed outside approximately 1 meter above ground as recommended and I have secured it against moisture with a coating of latex around the cable connections (I bought a bottle of liquid latex on Ebay for a few $).
Cheers
