(...) Whooaaa!!! very neat stuff here, very good documentation of your projects. I especially like the solar powered RCX with auto-shutdown/resume... Any chance to get the schematics of you Geiger counter interface? Congratulations, Philo (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thank you :) I don't have a schematic (more like a few pages of illegible notes :) and the gieger counter sensor isn't something that's easy to make a useful schematic for anyway because of unusual parts that vary in key properties, and the (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I fear all I can do is gawk in astonishment. Getting a HV sensor to work off the RCX is truly an amazing acomplishment. But you've gone well beyond that, with the solar panel (I'd seen the earlier one on eBay), the powercan... and the (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This would not be difficult - if you scroll down to the bottom schematic, it is colour-coded into sections according to function, with the last third of the circuit being all that you need to make a switch to activate and run the RCX from some (...)
