Our company has conducted a thorough testing of the power consumption of the Geiger counter module GGreg20_V3, intended for use in DIY projects. The purpose of the study was to determine the real power consumption of the module at different supply voltages: 3.3V, 3.7V, 5.0V.
Problem solution - in the example for ESPHome firmware with ESP32 controller, the pulse counter stopped working
Note on the use of the DCDC_3V3_400V_V1 high voltage converter by the user to power the Geiger-Muller tube or in other DIY / IoT projects
Technical note on manual initial diagnostics of the GGreg20_V3 module with J305 tube to check the main module voltages at the control points and determine the module's operability
Our site and the GGreg20_V3 DIY Geiger counter product are referenced by the author of the book Francesco Riggi, published by Springer in April 2024 under the title Educational and Amateur Geiger Counter Experiments.
