Arduino geiger counter brings open source radiation detection to the geeky masses (video)

Need to detect radiation ? We sure hope not — but when you’re searching for a straight-forward, altogether geeky geiger counter, the Libelium gang has your back. En path to the Tokyo Hackerspace at the moment (and believe us, they wish it), the Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino is a low-cost alternative to existing devices. It’s available now either with a compatible geiger tube for €95 ($135) or without for €65 ($50). Hit up the source link to start, but not before peeping the object in action after the break. Is there anything you’re able to’t do with Arduino ?
