Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this Geiger counter kit include a Geiger-Müller tube?
A: No, the Geiger-Müller tube is not included with this kit. It supports popular tubes such as the M4011, STS-5, SBM20, and J305 — any tube with an operating voltage range of 330–600V is compatible. You will need to purchase the tube separately.
Q: Is this DIY radiation detector compatible with Arduino?
A: Yes! This Geiger counter module is fully compatible with Arduino and other microcontroller (MCU) platforms, making it ideal for developers who want to build or customize their own radiation detection software. It also supports PC data acquisition and Matlab signal analysis.
Q: Do I need batteries, and what power supply does it use?
A: Batteries are not included but a battery holder is provided in the package. The kit also comes with a power supply cable. The recommended operating voltage for the Geiger tube is 380V (internally generated), so standard low-voltage DC input powers the onboard high-voltage circuit.
Q: What is this Geiger counter kit used for?
A: This nuclear radiation detector kit is ideal for educational experiments, STEM projects, Arduino-based DIY builds, physics demonstrations, and MCU software development. It detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation depending on the Geiger tube used.
