“…There is a library for frequency calculations on Arduino as used by Purwowibowo [18], but the counting time cannot be changed, which is 1 second. Rahman set the Timer1 register as the counter and the delay() function as the timer [7]. In this study, Timer/Counter1 was used as a counter and Timer/Counter2 as a timer.…”

Soil contamination may occur in the upcoming decommissioning activities of the TRIGA2000 Reactor. Measurement of contaminant radioactivity, which can be performed using single-channel spectroscopy, is required in soil decontamination processes. This research develops a timer/counter system for single-channel spectroscopy using a microcontroller. The performance of the ATMega328P microcontroller Timer/Counter on Arduino has been tested for single-channel spectroscopy. Microcontroller's Timer/Counter 1 is used as a counter while Timer/Counter 2 is used as a timer. Tests include the linearity test, comparative test, and chi-square test. The test results show that the ATMega328P microcontroller Timer/Counter works well and can be used as the end of a single-channel spectroscopic system.

Arduino is an open-source hardware and software platform that consists of a single-board microcontroller (MCU). Arduino offers low-cost and low-power operation, which allows the design of a mobile battery-operated device and offers easy programming with a wide range of compatible sensors. Hence, Arduino has recently been widely used as an inexpensive solution to build educational and evaluation tools. Here, we combined Arduino processors with custom-developed time-based signal readout electronics for a low-cost mobile radiation detection system; the system utilizes a time-over-threshold technique that provides compact electronics. Arduino processors were used for chip configuration, serial communication, and real-time data acquisition. In this study, we tested two commercial Arduino processors, Nano and Due, in various signal environments and compared their performances. The developed Arduino-based data acquisition system was combined with a 48 × 48 × 20 mm3 GAGG:Ce (Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce) scintillation crystal and an 8 × 8 array of 6 × 6 mm2 SiPM. The developed low-cost mobile gamma detection system achieved 9.35% energy resolution at 662 keV and was able to acquire events up to 600 Hz using an Arduino Nano.

This article presents the realization and implementation of a low-cost intelligent electronic device, which detects the ambient dose rate of Gamma and Beta ionizing radiation in real-time. Developed according to the principle of nuclear analog signal processing, the device uses a Geiger-Müller tube detector, in which the electronic circuit has been readjusted to produce the standard radiation protection signal (a slow positive logic pulses). It also consists of low-cost components such as the Atmega328P microcontroller board and XBee wireless modules for environmental radiation and nuclear security monitoring. The proposed device has several advantages, namely low energy consumption, low-cost, easily deployable in the field (in-situ), adapted for real-time measurements and data transmission to a remote personal computer (PC). After calibration using Cesium (137Cs), a comparative analysis of the data obtained from the proposed dosimeter was carried out with those of an in-situ gamma spectrometry chain (reference method) previously used at the same place and under the same conditions. This analysis gave an acceptable mean value of 64.30 nGy/h, of the proposed device, compared to that of the gamma spectrometer, which is 50.67 nGy/h. The prototype thus developed is simple, precise, and made for radiation protection.
