G'day everyone. New to the world of civilian radiation monitoring, but not radiation monitoring as a whole (US Navy, Submarines).  I'm a massive Data kinda bloke, bordering on being a data scientist (though my wife labels me a data hoarder; I tell her what she doesn't understand merely frightens her). When I'm not working my "pay the mortgage, cause they're funny about that" job (I'm a Senior UC Engineer, MS Teams, for Optus, in Australia), I dabble in a few hobbies. I'm a writer, I'm a coder, I'm an old school BBS Sysop, I'm a hardware engineer, I'm an amateur astronomer, I'm a jack of all hobbies and a master of none. 

I've refactored some Arduino code that was written a few years back and turned it into something that I call Parrot.  The original code and container was found at Thingverse.  I'm using the original container plans, have 3D-printed them, and have used most of the same parts the OD used, but have added a few extra bits and rewritten most of the code. The images below are of the DIY Geiger kit from Aliexpress, with the J315 (Hey, I know, I can't find a listing for that tube either, but that's what's printed on it) tube, the Leonardo board, and the DFRobot POE Hat.  Last Pic is the pole she'll be attached to.

Since Australia is criminally underrepresented here, I'm designing a Parrot-Mini, based around an ESP32 that's Solar Powered and uses LTE-M/NB-IoT for connectivity so I can add more stations across Australia.

Great project, congrats!
And welcome to the community!
Can you please share the link for STL file for the box? I'm planning to make my station solar powered (as it was before) so I'll be happy to look for some containers that could be used for that purpose. Now it looks like on my profile picture, so definitely need some enclosure for outdoor placement.

Regards,
Emo

Thanks, mate.
The original STL and code came from this  Thing  created by  rjelbert .  I used the parts list and the STL file, and have rewritten his code to make my Parrot and Parakeets, all reporting to here at radmon.org and to my website, Parrot HQ (The Nest), mainly because Australia is significantly underrepresented here. Besides, I like designing things.
