Posted 3250 days ago by NomadicRT
Hi
been waiting for a working sensor for this project since Nov 2013 and no further forward and all previous attempts at getting a complete sensor have failed as all sold out to long standing back orders and I do check news here regularly.Now I see ths sensors are still only available in kit form with parts missing and no assembly instructions which is of no use to me- I do not possess the skills to assemble or troubleshoot hardware faults. Other posts I have made on this issue or for using alternative sensors readily available on internet have been hidden or deleted. What started out as interesting project with big potential is just big disappointment.I understand project leaders are busy people but so far 3+ years of badly managed project equals failure - sorry.

Clicking on 'short manual' here http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=459 results in this url

which says all that needs to be said really.
On a minor point the green text on grey back ground listing previous orders on the thread id459 above is totally unreadable to people like me with Irlen (scotopic sensitivity) syndrome (a fairly common visual problem related to dyslexia).

Hi
I have been registered with the project since Nov 2012 and since no realistic sign of sensor anytime soon I purchased in January this year a Net10 GC10 Geiger counter board which use same SBM20 tube installed and cost $72 or 52euro (free int'l post) This unit works within a few minutes of some very basic assembly and originally designed by students in Japan post Fukushima to work with Arduino computer kit(is also very accurate and compares with modern Russian SOEKS geiger counter I have also.... it comes with no external case( but easily one is sourced from parts suppliers).....Also there is a plug-in USB2 hardware interface available to connect GC10 to any pc and simple data program instructionns to record data to pc as often as user requires for additional $12...my question is would this unit work with the project ? Search ebay for "NetIO Geiger Counter Board GC10 ( Full Assembled Kit ) SBM-20 Arduino" you will find the unit I purchase.....is slight more expensive than the project builds but much cheaper than $200 alternative mentioned on here but it may help some of us still waiting for sensors 18 months to 2 years if this unit was/is compatible for use with the RAH project.I Would be interested to know if is possible to use with the project....many thanks.

Hi guys
I am registered to the project in January '13 but is hard to find information of what is going on with supply of sensors and projected supply of same. I have no problem waiting but I do not know when sensors will be available soon or not and if or when I have to send money. I am check the message boards often also. All I am asking is some communication of the situation which at present time is not helpful.
best regards
