KitHub Safecast BLUETOOTH bGeigie Nano Kit

Bluetooth Module – Upload On-The-Go Option Available! 

• For a limited time we are offering the bluetooth BLEBee v2.0.1 module
• Simply add the bluetooth to your device and install the free Safecast:Drive app on your Apple, Google Play, or Amazon App device and upload your data on the go!

One of the most requested additions to the bGeigie Nano is the ability to automatically send data to the Safecast api via a paired mobile phone’s cellular connection rather than having to upload the data later via a web browser. New special versions of the BLEBee (low energy bluetooth module) are now configured specifically to work with the bGeigie Nano and your iOS or Android device. The app is free but current bGeigie Nano owners will need to buy the new bluetooth module to add to their device.

Engineer or not- YOU can use this kit to track radiation levels from anywhere!

If you know how to solder (or want to spent 10 minutes learning how) you can build the bGeigie Nano Kit in an evening and be surveying the next day. Many people without engineering backgrounds have put this kit together. This kit is recommended for ages 10 and up.

Get three systems in one!

bGeigie, xGeigie and iGeigie

1. xGeigie mode – geiger counter mode (no logging) with display indicator for µSv/hr dose-rate (Cs-137), max dose-rate, dosimeter, Bq/m² display (Cs-137), time stamp and Alarm LED
2. bGeigie mode – mobile radiation sensor with display indicator in CPM and µSv/hr, number of satellites locked, height (m), distance traversed (km), total duration of measurement (h:m) and time stamp (dd:hh:mm:ss)
3. iGeigie output – iPhone compatible output for Safecast iOS app. iPhone app shows dose rate and can upload data realtime to Safecast API.
