Original message: BOSEAN FS5000 would be the absolute perfect hobbyst geiger counter with radpro

Hi! Got one, but it came with the little tiny tube (very low sensitivity). Replaced it with a J321 and removed the solder jumper next to (-) terminal, which I believe is specific for the weaker tube since I saw pictures on the net with an M4011 and the jumper removed (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

Now, the next step is to get RadPro on it. What do I need to do?

Thank you for this great work! You're a doer, and not only a talker.

This is what needs to be done:

• Somebody already downloaded the firmware from the device. So you would need to disassemble it, and see how the code accesses the MCU internal devices (input/output ports, timers, ADCs, etc).
• It would also be helpful to make a schematics of the FS-5000 circuitry, so you can understand what goes where. To do this, you would have to follow the traces from the microprocessor to the board's devices (keyboard, display, battery, etc) and see what port connects to what device. A multimeter might help.
• Then, follow the steps in https://github.com/Gissio/radpro/blob/main/docs/developers.md and customize the code for the FS-5000.

I'm glad it works.

One request: Could you measure the detector's dead-time? It's under Statistics.

This should take quite some time to stabilize. To measure faster, use a radioactive source.

Quick question regarding the software for the FS5000. Does installing new software increase the measurement speed and the decrease in value after moving away from the radiation source? Has anyone measured this?

I once did something to spread the word about RadPro... 🤣

What's the max voltage for the GC-01 using HV profiles?

Wrong thread? 🤔
