Done! Thank you

Hello Ken,

By any chance, is it possible to connect the unit to a different router and/or a different ISP?

Hi 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.

Coordinates changed!

As soon as the security is implemented to something similar to what you have suggested (the key, etc). Currently all efforts go towards finalising the model D hardware.

Hi Hashy!

Don’t be too harsh on yourself.

If I got it right, what happened is that you pressed the tube against the middle clip and that punctured the tube?

The middle connector is there for those that want to use the shorter SI3BG tube, very insensitive, but better to offer it as an alternative.

The SBM20 which is supplied with the KIT, only needs the to far-end clips for support.

Now, if the tube is broken, it lost its internal gases and special pressure parameters, making it impossible to register any counts, exactly like you described. If touching the contacts results in counts, this shows your soldering skills are OK, and replacing the tube will get it working.

Sorry for this, I’ll make sure to add the SI3BG details to the next manual revision. Also, make sure the seller sends you a tested/working SBM20 tube, and not anything else (like STS-5, etc, some sellers are not serious about what they are doing).

And please post some pics, might be useful for others reading this. At least as a warning.

That looks good. Sorry for the confusion with the resistors, I’ll make sure to correct it in the next version of the PCB. As said, it was to preserve backwards compatibility for using the LM317 instead of the better LM1117 . And backwards compatibility is a pain, nearly every time.
