 <p>Building the background radiation monitor will give you an excellent introduction to a variety of technologies. You will learn about programming Arduino micro-controllers and assembling electronic components. You will learn about Linux server software, scripting for Internet applications, and displaying information with a web page.</p>
 
 <p>You can find all the required software available under open source, GNU license at this project site. Please read the <a href="DIY Radmon Project Description.pdf">project description document</a> for details on procuring the materials, assembling the background radiation monitor and installing the software.</p>
 
 <p>This project encompasses two software components. One component runs on the Arduino Uno with attached Ethernet shield. The other component runs on a Linux web server. Besides the Arduino Uno with attached Ethernet shield, the other required component is a modified Mighty Ohm Geiger counter.</p>
