I took a look at the http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/results.php?userid=13068
And found a lot of "errors Too many total results"
So then there is some kind of issue here ?
Is this a software problem, or is it a slow pc, or what ?

Just taken this screenshot, is this normal ?
Seems that every other reading is very slow changing, is this an average-buildtin,
or is here another issue ?

Some odd calculations ?
First here is a odd markings between 500 and 400 measures.
After a reboot of the PC the readouts has changed dramatically...
(PC is normally on 24/7 - expect from when a thunder warning is issued)
I did not get a screenshot ( image), since it is gone by now, but I see a tendency of the same issue here:
It seems that every second reading is "fixed" somehow..
On June 27-28 I had a problem with my internet - there is an odd reading...
So after the restart of my PC the readouts fell a lot.
Have quite nice wather here now, very little rain, så that could be the reason of lower radiation reading ( less radon washout).
Due to thunder my PC was off between july 2 and july 3rd...
So my question is ;
What is wrong here ? Every second reading is at same level ? while the 1-3-5 reading and so forth was falling ?
And why did I get a huge change after resetting my PC ?

Thanks for the info !
It's working good now, and the Display suggestion earlier in this thread,
was indeed a good one !
It fitted in just fine, ( mounted the kit yesterday), and the kit was running ok at first try.
I started the for the forst time with an batterypack for USB, to insure that it should'nt kill the USB connector at the PC.
After that everything worked as expected.
A comment though; the drawing of component placement on the board, was almost unreadable for some of the parts.
But skipping a few parts until I got the readables in place, it was a bit easier.
I suggest that one make a complete usermanual both for building the kit, images for component placement, and some security warnings about the high tension voltage.
Anyway, Its fun to get it up and running, after a long wait for the needed parts... !
Have a nice day !

By the way, there are 3 pushbuttons in the kit.
But either I'm blind , or there is no spec in what they do ?
( the search function on the forum did not give me an answer...)

Thanks ;)
Now I'd like to put some data on my website ...
I already have an lighteningdetector project going at aa-mot.net/mybo,
and a combination could be interesting, - thinking about the possibility of an radioactive burst caused by the lightning itself.
Anyway is there some place to find scripts or code that I could use on my site ?

Finally got the last parts today, and buildt the kit.
It is now running, and I currently have a reading of 0.09 µSv/h .
Installed the Boinc Radioactive@home project, and it's now running on
a PC that is also connected to Echolink (Amator Radio applicationthat controls
a radiostation).
The Boinc properties shows that my computer ID is 15215,
and my quiestion is ;
Is there something more to do ?
Or is the project running as it should be,
and my station will appear on the map ?

It would be very nice to ha a complete kit, instead of an partially one.
I have ordered the other components, but several parts are backordered, and I have to wait until at least July to get the remaining parts.
Also a mounting manual including info on how to activate both software and hardware to work together , and some howto's in a bundle would be nice.
As of now, one has to search all over the place, to get bits and parts of the way to get the systems go.
One problem is that there are several versions of the kit, and one dscription does NOT compare to newer ones, wich also make some confusion.
I would suggest :
-that there is made an updated manual( current version) with a description of mounting the kit, and a hoto to make it up and running.
- the kit should be delivered with all neded parts (to ensure they will meet the specs), since otherwise one is tempted to take used parts from old trashed electronics, wich would have decreased values compared to specs.
(and also may be failing)
If these pionts are met - the cost of the kit will of course increase, but the time saved for the partisipants, and a lot of waiting for 3-rd parts delivery ( and maybe failordered parts) .
This will eliminate a lot of failure possibilities, and malfunction kits.
It will also eliminate a few giving up the whole project because as it is now, its to complicated for most amateurs. Even thos who has buildt a lot of other kind of electronic kits.
I know this would increase the work of the delivery part of this projeckt, but i'm sure the results will be much better.
I might say that IF I have known how spread this project was, I wouldnt have participated in the first place.
I am also a participant at http://www.blitzortung.org/ wich delivered a complete kit, and it was up and running in less than a week after the kit arrived my home.

I did not find a suitable display for the kit, that I'm sure will work....
( I used the Mouser part suplies for the other parts ).
I guess that the kit will work without the display, but - it's easier to find any errors if we got it up and running - or not :P )
Any ideas where to buy the correct display parts?
