    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for your excellent feedback.


    @ddabrowa

    There is a field of improvement in the recognition of “offline” state.

    There are two distinct things here. One is the device seeing itself connected to the Wifi, and a separate thing is the server seeing the device as online. The former works by checking if there is a local IP allocated in the LAN, while the second checks if any data was received not older than 30minutes. After 30minutes of not receiving data, the server will mark any unit as offline, and you would see it on the map accordingly.
    Regardless of the two, all data is collected on the SDCARD in the CSV files. But indeed, this is not used for SYNC. I will enforce this for the next SYNC implementation and you will have it with the new firmware.

    Build quality really isn’t what I’d expect from such a relatively pricy device: the screws were rusting at delivery, at least one of the devices had the beginnings of rust on the tube and the shielding internally, both lost the cap on the GPS antenna (double sided tape seems to have solved that), both have creaking touch screen enclosures that don’t quite align the screen, one of the switch plastic was just damaged.

    I agree with you on this and I regret it myself. I will probably be able to provide updated plastic bezels and mail them to you when available. The lack of time in finalising this already delayed project contributed to the outcome.
    Your other suggestions are excellent and some are already on the todo list for the new firmware. Some are only possible with hardware modifications, such as turning off charging leds or using the soft button for power down. For the location, the only option is to mark your unit as hidden in the dashboard, but more options will be added to address this.


    @sjmcinness

    You will need tweezers. Open the end panel, facing the radiation sensor and GPS led. Be extra careful not to damage the sensitive LND712 Geiger tube, as it has a very thin mica window that can be punctured in an instant.
    Use the tweezers to open the IPEX connector (just drag it) and release the GPS Antenna cable. Carefully put the new cable’s connector over the motherboard connector and press it with the tweezers. This is an easy replacement, you just need to be careful with the LND712 tube.
    For a first test, don’t force the IPEX connector through the tiny hole (yes, it can be done), first decide on the antenna replacements.
    Please keep us informed on the results!

    This is great Mads, we should do more tests on this, however I think getting the right protection to the monsters you’ve built will not be easy. They should include Tesla Coil RF Testing at the CE lab where they got me the certifications 🙂

    What happens if you put vacuum tubes on your top-load while close to the detectors?

    Hi Alex,

    How did you solve the router problem?

    Thanks,

    I’ll need to keep an eye on this for the next firmware update, and see how to replicate this locally before a fix. Is the issue consistent, are you still seeing it?

    An on a different topic , did you test the new GPS antenna?

    Thanks,
    Radu

    I wasn’t able to obtain details on the auto-calibration algorithm from the manufacturer, but what they said is the sensor will eventually settle to the correct values after a few cycles.

    I believe this already happened on yours too, since the data seems continuous:

    Yes, those two values are applied a calibration function and the return was numerical, while for the others the JSON encoder handled them as strings. Numbers don’t need the quotes, while other types do.

    While this has no impact on parsing (JSON with number in quotes is still valid), this has been fixed to drop quotes on all other numbers.

    Hello Mino,

    I ran a test myself for your unit https://www.uradmonitor.com/?open=110000A9

    Everything appears to function properly, attached, please see my results.

    I think this might be a local issue. Please try a different browser and let me know the result.

    Hello JP,

    I have attached a screenshot of the current data for the record.
    The sensor was replaced since the last manifestation, so this is a new sensor showing the same behaviour.

    I will need some time to investigate this further. I might also need to discuss it with Bosch.

    This is amazing work, promoted to sticky!

    I will popularize it together with the KIT1 with credit to you.

    BTW, your account has been granted blog access, please post this as a new article on the blog! It certainly deserves to be there. Add a few pics too, if you may.

    Hi Scott,

    Does the connector fit through the hole or was the cable soldered onto the antenna after it was installed?
    I think the antenna cable really needs its own hole and I think that hole also needs a grommet to protect the cable. I believe that reinstallation of the antenna cover, after coming off numerous times, is what has caused this failure; the peg on the cover has simply crushed the cable and also stripped some of the insulation.

    Agree with you on this. The connector was soldered after it was installed.

    @radhoo, I’m wondering why you’ve suggested changing the antenna over to one that has ~15dB of gain, versus the original which, as far as I can establish, probably has 28dB of gain. This page shows a number of different antennas, including what I believe is the same as the standard antenna. I’m considering this 32dB antenna.

    Because I had some excellent results with the small antenna, and considering it for the next design update, in order to get rid of the external plastic holder, or at least replace it for something more comapct. The current antenna is a custom version, that is why we have the copper shield replacing the standard shield. The 32dB antenna looks very interesting, I’m sure it would provide better results.

    At 13:14 today, my model D stopped uploading because it had frozen – which I think is a first for mine. I noticed at ~18:20, when I picked it up to have another go at the GPS antenna cable and couldn’t wake the display.

    Did it still have power? I didn’t consider that long sync sessions will waste all battery, this is on the list for the new firmware too.


    @VA7VW
    , we’ll have longer keys for the next firmware.

    Hello Ron, please let your D unit run for more than 5 minutes, so I can have a chance to check the data. The PM2.5 values seem elevated already.

    Hi Wojtek, I have some plans to present the data better. I will let you know when a beta is ready.

    Meanwhile, please send me any suggestions on what you would like to have on the frontend side of things (charts , info, colours, etc)
