Description
This started as an idea to use the gage from a Geiger counter as a way to display cpu usage on my Radiation Computer, but then Strages mentioned turning a Geiger counter into a wifi detector, so I stole the idea.
- New Geiger counters sell on Ebay for ~$60, but old ones from the 60's sell for cheaper. I hope to get one for ~$30.
- Maybe I can use one of those little wifi detectors such as this. The power from the LEDs could be used to move the needle in the gage.
