More About Nuclear Radiation Detector
This application is designed specifically for detecting nuclear radiation and is not intended for measuring electromagnetic fields (EMF) or electromagnetic forces. It requires users to have a custom-built or pre-existing Geiger counter that can connect to an Arduino, as most commercial phones do not have built-in radiation detection hardware. The app is compatible with DIY Geiger counters made from affordable kits that can measure gamma rays in the range of 20mR/h to 120mR/h and soft beta rays with variable counts between 100 and 1800 per square centimeter, as detailed in the provided tutorial link.
The core functionality of the app includes a visual display of radiation levels in real-time, showing readings in counts per minute (CPM) and microSieverts per hour (uSv/h). It also offers a radiation mapping feature utilizing Google Maps, allowing users to create geographical representations of radiation levels in different areas. This can be particularly useful for monitoring and analyzing contaminated zones or radiation hotspots, providing a helpful tool for researchers, hobbyists, or safety inspectors.
To set up the application, users need hardware that supports Arduino-compatible radiation detection devices or Geiger counters. The application requires an internet connection, Bluetooth access, vibrate permissions, and location access to work optimally. The Bluetooth permission is essential because of Android's recent security changes related to hardware identification, which are necessary for communicating with the connected Geiger counter device. The app’s dependencies are actively maintained to ensure compatibility and smooth operation across devices.
Additional information, including setup tutorials, Arduino code, and contact details, are provided through various links. The hardware setup instructions can be found on the specified website, and the programming code for Arduino is available on GitHub. The application emphasizes privacy with no unnecessary permissions and maintains clear links to its End User License Agreement, privacy policy, and contact pages for user support and inquiries.
