Ada Fruit makes a little Gieger Counter kit for $99 www.adafruit.com/product/483

And I was seriously thinking, this might be great little add-on to the weather station...

Was looking to see if anyone else thinks so or would have an idea of how we can achieve this with the Weather Station kit.

Anyone interested or Got any ideas if this is possible ?

Sincerely,
Darryl

The issue is the FTDI interface. I suppose you could make a Pi use an USB to FTDI connection but a I2C or Serial connection would be much better. BP
