Setup

Netio GC10 is linked to an arduino Uno and ethernet shield, I wrote the sketch which monitors the gc10 output and every minute uploads the CPM reading to radmon.org. I used my 3D printer to print a case for the gc10 and arduino + shield. Images Here

Arduino Uno and Ethernet shield

This is an UNO R3 Arduino-compatible board with an atmega328p, plus a W5100 Ethernet shield, this is my first play with Arduinos and writing code which uploads the data from the GC10 to radmon.org. I used my 3D printer to print the case.
