Geiger Counter on the Internet

Post by fractalxaos »

I have a Mighty Ohm Geiger Counter up and running on the Internet for about a year now. Following the instructions in the topic "Interfacing with Arduino Uno R3", I was able to interface the Geiger counter to an Arduino Uno with attached Ethernet shield. Some coding on the Arduino side was necessary to get everything up and running. The Arduino code processes the serial data from the Geiger counter and formats the data, upon request, into an HTML document type. Accurate time reporting gets accomplished by having the Arduino periodically request the time from an Internet time server. Currently, I have a server setup to request the HTML document from the Arduino every 30 seconds. The server keeps this data in a round-robin data base using RRDtool at http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/index.en.html.
The server formats the data into graphs available for viewing over the Internet. You can view the graphs at http://eugeneweb.com/~fractal/GetRads.cgi. The cool thing about this is that the Geiger counter can be located anywhere there is an Internet connection available. The Geiger counter need not be co-located with the web server. Currently the Geiger counter is located in the Willamette Valley area of western Oregon, USA.
