**This project is also on [Hackaday.io](https://hackaday.io/project/185211-all-in-one-gamma-ray-spectrometer), where I post important project updates and other announcements!**

Open hardware for a hackable scintillation counter and multichannel analyzer (MCA) all-in-one device using a popular NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal and a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM). Extremely affordable design for a DIY gamma spectroscopy setup with a total parts cost of under around 200 USD.

The detector uses a standard serial-over-USB connection so that it can be integrated into as many other projects as possible, for example data logging with a Raspberry Pi, weather stations, Arduino projects, etc.
The detector uses a standard serial-over-USB and hardware UART connections so that it can be integrated into as many other projects as possible, for example data logging with a Raspberry Pi, weather stations, Arduino projects, etc. It includes both scintillation counter and multichannel analyzer (MCA) functions depending on how you want to use it.

If you want a barebone version of the Open Gamma Detector to count pulses only or similar, you can have a look at the [Mini SiPM Driver](https://github.com/OpenGammaProject/Mini-SiD) board.
