Radioactive@Home
is a Polish science project using the distributed computing capabilities of the BOINC platform. The main goal of the project is to create a free and continuously updated map of radiation levels available for everyone, by gathering information about gamma radiation using sensors connected to the computers of volunteers willing to participate in the project. Project is completely non-commercial, participating will be free of charge (excluding cost of detector) and the software will be licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Because of the many questions on BOINC@Poland forum I've decided to post a short report on the status of equipment we will be using in this project.
Geiger Tubes
We are currently awaiting for a shipment of Geiger-Mueller tubes requested via eBay. Rafal ordered 8 pieces Kotfryc ordered 3 pieces. These tubes will be mounted in prototype sensors.
Software
Internal software of the ATTiny2313 microprocessor used in prototypes is almost done and waits for the first tests along with the shipment of the Geiger tubes. Client software is not yet ready (but the work is in progress).
First sensor test should take place in about 7-14 days (The term depends on the working prototype).
