Abstract
Abstract
Arduino is an open-source hardware and software platform
that consists of a single-board microcontroller (MCU). Arduino
offers low-cost and low-power operation, which allows the design of
a mobile battery-operated device and offers easy programming with a
wide range of compatible sensors. Hence, Arduino has recently been
widely used as an inexpensive solution to build educational and
evaluation tools. Here, we combined Arduino processors with
custom-developed time-based signal readout electronics for a
low-cost mobile radiation detection system; the system utilizes a
time-over-threshold technique that provides compact
electronics. Arduino processors were used for chip configuration,
serial communication, and real-time data acquisition. In this study,
we tested two commercial Arduino processors, Nano and Due, in
various signal environments and compared their performances. The
developed Arduino-based data acquisition system was combined with a
48 × 48 × 20 mm3 GAGG:Ce
(Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce) scintillation crystal and an
8 × 8 array of 6 × 6 mm2 SiPM. The developed
low-cost mobile gamma detection system achieved 9.35% energy
resolution at 662 keV and was able to acquire events up to 600 Hz
using an Arduino Nano.
