I redid the connections a little, but they are still not very good. I need to rethink it and/or take the advice given here. Electronics and such is note really my forte :)

@Bok

Looks like your sensor started working again a little while ago. The readings looks sensible, but quite 'spiky'.

My bet is a poor connection with the croc/alligator clips. I tried about half a dozen different types (I have a big box of them) until I found a size that gave me confidence in a good connection.

The ones I finally used came from a set of prewired patch leads. For normal use I'd say they were soo small, but in this case they grip really well, and I suspect the teeth cut through any tarnishing on the tube terminals.

Al.

I have unfortunately got the same thing. I got it working very briefly, returned a couple of units then it seems to have stopped once more and I get 0.00.

The alligator clips I have do not fit on very well though. So I'll replace those. And I used 16gauge wire which was actually a little too big. Do you have any recommend parts for the wire/clips at all ?

My tube seems as if it got just a little crushed on one side too. I'm not certain whether this causes any problems - it is not pierced at all.

Dagorath, I'm in the US (though originally from the UK).

My thoughts exactly on customs, one way or another we should have heard something.

6 weeks and nothing... bordering on the ridiculous.

I'm just about giving up on these ever arriving now.

Yeah, and no way to catch up without more detectors :)

That's an interesting spike on your graph today.....

We have found a bug in controller and fix it.
If tests not shows any more bugs we will start sending detectors tomorrow (half of batch) then rest of them during next week.

How did this go? Did half of the detectors get shipped yesterday ?
