Hello from Washington DC,
I am a software guy but I like to tinker on hardware project. I saw this super cool project and want to support Radu’s efforts. I certainly hope nothing ever happens but if it does we are on ground-zero. I am running monitor #110000A7, which is still indoors. As soon as I get some time I will more it outside so get more accurate numbers.
Regards,

September 26, 2015 at 1:30 pm #2461KSHAlabamaParticipantHi,
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 #2796KonkParticipantHello 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.

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 #2956DonReidParticipantHi 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.
June 8, 2016 at 2:58 pm #3004DPBParticipantHi 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.
June 10, 2016 at 9:56 am #3009uRADMonitorKeymasterHey 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/
June 11, 2016 at 12:22 pm #3027Ken ScottParticipantHello 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 #3028uRADMonitorKeymasterJust 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.
July 3, 2016 at 4:42 pm #3112JassoParticipantHello 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!
July 3, 2016 at 4:59 pm #3117uRADMonitorKeymasterHi 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.
July 17, 2016 at 10:46 pm #3204PainterParticipantHi 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.Attachments:
July 18, 2016 at 4:50 pm #3207uRADMonitorKeymasterHello 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 #3259ScherheinzParticipantHi
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 NormanParticipantHi 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
