As with many designs, there is something which triggers the creation. As part of a bigger design, which will be published in the future, we created a small geiger counter module which can be connected to all of our designs.

Now with the current situation in the Ukraine, with the associated risks in regards to the nuclear power plants, we pulled this design forward, and created a standalone design too.

So this project post is actually a double post, in the sense that we will introduce two designs at the same time. As mentioned, the design was pulled forward for publication, so we do not yet have the final PCBs in our hands. However our prototype is working fine, and there have been no changes made to the diagram, only to the PCB layout and silkscreen.
