Random Number Generator for Analog Geiger Counters*

This adapter plugs into the digital out of the analog geiger counters and provides a random each time a radioactive particle is detected. The geiger counter is set up to read background radiation. The random numbers generated are truly random since they are based naturally occurring radioactivity.
The random number generate may be set to the following ranges:

Binary (1-2) Heads or Tails
Decimal (1-10)
1 Byte (1 - 255)
2 Byte ( 1 -65535)

The random number generator is compatible with analog meter geiger counters that use either an internal tube or a wand with shielded cable.

Typically, depending upon location, the generator will generate 20-40 random numbers per minute. TTL Serial Output Random numbers are sent out via a TTL serial port that may be interfaced to a micro controller or PC.

LCD Display 16 character by 2 line LCD (liquid crystal display) with back light provides easy to read output.
