Final Thoughts...
As you can see from this write up this is a simple project to construct. We
assembled an additional version below of this project using a PCI USB card for
further development as an internal project. O
verall, I think this project was a resounding success. While I don't plan
on playing with radioactive materials as a common pastime, it's
still a good time with lots of potential applications.

Video of the
project in action.
Here is a video clip of the system in action. We converted it to this
animated Gif to conserve bandwidth and in doing so lost about 60% of the total
interacts by losing most of the dimmer interactions. But it's still cool. If
you look closely you will be able to see the white flashes that are one pixel
in size, as well as faint blue streaks. Iwill try to get a higher quality vid
soon. |

Version 2.0
This project goes together so easily that I just couldn't help taking a few
minutes to order a USB card off Newegg. Basically, this is just a PCI USB
card. We shortened the length of the USB cord to 1" and mounted the camera to
the USB card with some hot glue. I picked the card due to its "L"
shape, which gives a natural place for the camera to sit while not
taking space in other slots. We applied a layer of copper sheeting and grounded
it to the screw on the card bracket to insure a good strong ground. Finally we
coated everything we added with a thin layer of silicon to protect it from
accidentally touching something else in the computer. |
