Raspberry Pi Radiation Monitor Goes Wireless With Pico W

Raspberry Pi

We hope that none of our readers are ever concerned with radiation. However, if you need to track radiation levels you can thankfully do so with the help of our favorite SBC — the Raspberry Pi. Today we’re sharing a project created by Sboger that could potentially save lives. Using a Raspberry Pi Pico W, they’ve created a remote radiation monitor that transmits current radiation levels over Wi-Fi.

The driving module behind this project is a GGreg20_V3 Geiger counter module. This device is able to detect radiation levels with data that can be read by separate modules like a Raspberry Pi Pico W. In this case, Sboger is using ESPHome to receive data from the Pico W and process it into a useful gauge graphic.
