The repository contains:

• datasheets - datasheets of components used in the device, especially the Geiger tube
• firmare - source code of firmware for ATTiny24, written in C
• host/geiger-controller - simple program in C++ for reading data and writing the settings to the device
• host/geiger-manager - more complex software written in Python. Periodically reads the data from sensor and sends them to MySQL or CSV file
• pcb - printed circuit board layout in Eagle format, schematic in PNG and mirrored board layout for toner transfer
