Radiation Dose Rate Chart Kit – Track & Visualize Environmental Radiation with ESP8266

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Turn an ESP8266 and a Geiger counter module into a practical environmental radiation monitor. This kit logs counts-per-minute (CPM) to an SD card with precise timestamps and generates hourly dose rate charts along with a monthly cumulative dose summary directly on an OLED display. Whether you’re investigating background radiation for a physics project, building a long-term monitoring device for your locality, or entering a citizen science challenge, you’ll gain hands-on experience in sensor interfacing, data storage, and real‑time visualization.

What You'll Build

You’ll assemble a compact, breadboard‑based radiation logger that reacts to beta and gamma radiation. The OLED shows the current CPM, an hourly dose rate bar chart, and a running total of the month’s accumulated dose. Every reading is saved to a microSD card with an RTC timestamp, so you can later import the CSV into Excel, Python, or cloud platforms. The finished device runs standalone once programmed, giving you a portable instrument for experiments, field trips, or a 24/7 monitoring station at home.

What You'll Learn

• Interfacing a Geiger counter module with an ESP8266 and counting high‑voltage pulses securely
• Logging time‑series sensor data to a microSD card using the DS3231 real‑time clock
• Designing multi‑screen OLED dashboards that update bar charts and cumulative values in real time
• Processing CPM readings into hourly and daily dose rates using simple statistical averaging
