Welcome, Koh, and congrats on the beautiful installation. One observation though, the enclosure seems too tight, apparently sealing the unit from the outside air. A Stevenson shield is the perfect solution here.
You might want to add a few (big) holes at the bottom and on the sides of the plastic enclosure.

Hi, I’m Moz, a software geek and cyclist in Sydney, Australia. I bought an A3 and it arrived a week ago, but I work with embedded systems guys who are mostly gadget freaks so it took a bit of effort to bring it home from work. I’m interested in air quality, I live fairly close to a major road and wonder just how bad the air is. Plus I live in a “shedroom” made of coolstore panels (steel skin over 75mm of EPS) glued together. It’s almost airtight, and the cyanoacetate glue is supposed to stop outgassing after a week (shed built two months ago) but after closing the room up all day I can smell it. Now I can measure it too – when you see formaldehyde go up and AQ go down on my graphs, that’s the outgassing 🙂 It’s also an effective faraday cage, two layers of steel in the walls and roof, so the A3 inside has to be ethernet. When I’m at work it gets over 40 degrees Celsius in the shed quite regularly because the room is sealed up… but it also gets over 40 degrees outside 🙂

I’ve done a deal with my boss to split the cost so have also backed the Indegogo campaign and will have a couple more A3’s shortly. My plan is to have a second unit outside the shed, then leave one unit at work. That one will probably move round inside the building while my co-workers argue about air quality and whether they can buy the sensors and build a similar device for less money (I don’t expect that they will actually build one, but they like talking about how easy it would be… and if they do I can test their one too).

Greetings all.

Thanks to the generosity of Radu, I am the proud operator of the following devices:

https://www.uradmonitor.com/?open=110000F8 (This is a fixed Model A that is currently undergoing some tests; its geographic address is 7101 Ottawa Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110 rather than Grants as it currently displays on the map)

https://www.uradmonitor.com/?open=51000016 (This is a KIT1 that is installed on the bedroom wall at my primary residence, and displays location correctly on the map. Its reading is high for the area due to background from radioactive collectibles throughout the home, so please do not interpret this measurement as representative of Albuquerque.)

Personal background
I’m a nuclear engineer (currently titled “Health Physicist”) at a US government facility, and live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I also teach an introductory nuclear engineering course at the University of New Mexico. Most of my background has been involved with particle accelerator applications. Avocational pursuits have included building fusion neutron generators (I was an active admin / participant on the http://www.fusor.net forums for most of the last two decades); traveling to radioactive destinations such as Chernobyl, Semipalatinsk, and Fukushima; and collecting radioactive items (I have a personal blog linked in my profile where that stuff tends to be discussed). I’m also an amateur radio operator (KF4KIG).

I have a strong interest in radiation detection and measurement, and some ideas for expanding on the uRADMonitor hardware to create a high-sensitivity neutron detection station, which should provide some insights into secondary cosmic ray backgrounds and their variation.

I look forward to contributing to and interacting with this community.

Best regards,

Hi Folks.

Henk here 50yrs and retired Business Architect, I been running dayboro weather station since 2004. Just connecting every wire I can find and hope for the best :-).

I have unit #820000E7, not much of a coder I just beg, borrow and steal what I can find.
Pretty much need all the help I can get to get things done, now a day’s due to some brain damage issues.

Apart from that… all happy and excited to have the A3 unit plugged in, now the trouble starts LOL.

Have fun folks.

Hi everyone.

Another David here, from south of France.
I run my own “IT” company and work mostly from home.

I got my A3 a couple of weeks ago but set it up last week-end only, it’s unit #820000E8.
It’s screwed to a wall facing south, on the second floor of the house (protected because it’s some kind of balcony).
It’s PoE powered (fs.com 802.3af PoE switch and adapter).

The initial idea was to monitor radiation level, as we’re in the Rhône valley, with several nuclear plants upnorth and some almost wind going down south to the Mediterranean sea (that wind is called “mistral”).
