GMC Geiger counter api
Project description
GMC
gmc geiger counter api
about the device
An inexpensive geiger counter that has many software interface projects.
This tool can be found on amazon.
aim of this project
This project gmc updates to python3 and attempts to simplify some of the features of the gmc api. Many of the bug fixes and were utilized from other projects as listed in
installation
Using pip I suggest creating a virtualenv first.
python3 -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
Then install gmc using pip from web
pip install gmc
Or from local directory
pip install ~/projects/rad/gmc
usage
python
>>> from gmc import GMC
>>> g = GMC() # or with configuration GMC({'DEFAULT_BAUDRATE':57600})
>>> g.version()
'GMC-300Re 4.22'
features
- access to gmc device api functions
- read and modify configuration
- read history
- heartbeat as non blocking process
- modular configuration per device model
- utilize ctypes.Structure for confiuration model
- tests using pytest
- preparation setup for pypi deployment
- GMC class has a logger = logging='gmc.gmc'
- inject configuration into GMC to override gmc.config
todo
- parse history logs
- issues with writing configuration - mostly works
- example scripts to report to internet radiation detection sites.
other projects
There are others out there too. Here is what I worked from.
radiation mapping sites
bash binary files
gmc produces a tmp file of history data. it is in binary format
take a look at the raw history data file.
example:
od -t x1 /tmp/tmpdmtc4ow1.bin
hexdump -x /tmp/tmpdmtc4ow1.bin
hd /tmp/tmpdmtc4ow1.bin | HEAD
xxd /tmp/tmpdmtc4ow1.bin | head
testing
testing could be harmful to your device. you may have to factory reset it with some types of commands.
this will activate all tests
pytest
just run one test by name
pytest --pdb -k test_device
usb connection
different per system.
create udev-usb to describe linux connections.
