Hello,
How do I get the values of the GQ GMC-320 Plus Geiger Counter on my website. Is there a script for that. For example:

Alpha and Beta: 17 CPM
Gamma and X-ray: 0.8 µSv/h

Thank you in advance
Regards Engelbert

That is actually not so easy due to a bug in the firmware of all GMC counters. You can read detailed information on this in the GeigerLog manual. There is also a workaround described. This software is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geigerlog/

There is a catch with the workaround, though: you'll have to explicitly make the server "unsafe"! If this were a public server, I would think twice before doing that!

Three alternatives:

The first: Connect the counter to a laptop or desktop on which you run GeigerLog. GeigerLog has some builtin features which support inclusion in other websites.

The second: Connect the counter to a Raspi, on which you run GeigerLog, which can can support websites. Works smoothly if you only have the counter connected.

The third: Connect the counter to a Raspi, on which you run what I call a dataserver. This is a rather simple program, which is also available as part of GeigerLog. Currently it is programmed to feed GeigerLog. Next version is the use of the IoT (Internet of Things) technology to feed any recipient which can do IoT (aka MQTT).

But if you have some (Python) programming skills, you could easily program the Raspi to update a website of your choice. What you presently have described as what you desire, is easy to do.
