	There is a bug in Firmware 1.0 that causes error in pulse counting. The higher is dose rate the greater is an error. Bug was caused by blocking delay that was used in 'beep' procedure. If you have "Radioactive@Home --- 2.60 ---" detector you can upgrade firmware by RS232 connection but if you don't know how to do it - don't do it! Here is an upgrade pack: Firmware Upgrade Pack Good luck!

	Hey guys, i've got three V2.6 Kit (last year i think) with Firmware 1.0 I've tried to update the 1 Detector with Version 1.1 It looks good so far - µC Info worked and i tried to flash the V1.1 release. Also done. But then nothing happens. Connecting Putty to the RS232 Terminal it shows only the '?' on and on and on. Looks like the µC hangs continuously in boot mode. The Flash File is about 17 kB is that right ? (The Flash tool reports only 6190 Bytes) Is there anyway to get / flash the V1.0 Release Kind regards andreas

	Well, I just bricked my detector, I can not sit still :) Everything looked good when i clicked upload FW, the led blinking one time, progress bar, but Radioactive@home never came back in the display. Any advice? What I need to flash the firmware in other way? I looked at avrdude installed on my debian pc. Can I use it with the usb to ttl adapter or do I need anything else? Thanks ____________

Thanks You will need and ISP (In-System-Programmer) to run avrdude. Take a look on the "-c" switch of avrdude. It will show you all compatible AVR-ISPs. I have a STK500v2 compatible bought on ebay for about 20€ An USBTiny adapter costs about 12€

	Thank you appu I just ordered an usbtinyisp v2 like programmer. Do i need to power the detector via usb while programming or power should come form the programmer? There should also be a jumper in the programmer to provide the 5v or not ____________

	I didn't found the schematic yet but if i remember correctly you can power it via the 6pin Header Found the Schmetaic here. The only thing i had to do was to make a connection bewtween the 6pin header of the GigerCounter and my 10pin header of my ISP. I also used the ISP to powering the Counter during flashing.
