Geiger Backpack with Intel Edison

Geiger Backpack with Intel Edison

Geiger Backpack is a device that measures ambient radioactivity and GPS position and saves them on a cloud database using your smartphone as a WiFi hotspot.

Our project is a portable device powered by an Intel Edison and equipped with a GPS receiver and a Geiger Tube, a sensor able to detect radioactivity.

Our device continuosly measures ambient radioactivity and GPS position and saves them on a cloud database using your smartphone as a WiFi hotspot.

You can turn on your device, put it inside you backpack (here’s the origin of the name), pick up you bike and ride all around you town. When you’re back at home you can view a heatmap of radioactivity level you encountered during your ride.
