Got mine pre built for 450.- on ebay.
Sadly i had to do some modification because the pre owner did some mistakes in the assembly.

Alberto and Makarevich,

We did send you both emails for the bGeigieZen orders you had mentioned before in this group with a question if you wanted yellow or black l
inner liner for the Zen. Your email addresses are in the bGeigieZen mailing list. 

However, we did not receive and could not find any order or payment in our database. 
Can you both check if you made a payment for the order yet?

As you mentioned in the mail, please order and pay directly on the website, and we will still use your order as being in the first batch of the Zen.

P.S. if Makarevich, can do the same, he also will be in the first batch.

You still have to build it after you received it. :)

If most of the manual is done, the Google doc will be on the Wiki page of the Zen on GitHub, so we all edit/share/modify it.

All,

Some updates for the bGeigieZen.

  • The orders for the second batch are starting to come in slowly. 
  • We started shipping of the first orders to Hong Kong and USA, and we will soon start putting together the kits and sending them out too.
  • IMG_1228.jpg
  • We created a snap on for the LND7317 tube to be used instead of the metal grid.

Thanks for the feedback on the building of the kit.I am very pleased all worked as expected.
Just wondering how long(not including the preparations etc.) did it take you to build the kit?

It took me less than 1.5 hours.
As already said the cathode wire was to short and I had to find an other wire that has more or less the same sice.
In addition I was a little bit confused, because there were more stand-offs in the kit than needed and i thought I forgot something.

Also I tryied to put in a 18650 protected battery with a button top positiv pole into the metal holder. The batterie was to long and the holder were bend outwards. It was that bad, that i had trouble to put the boad into the pelican case. I have orderdn now a protected 18650 battery with a flat top positiv pole. This should work way better.

As information for the other builder:
If you fire up the Zen without firmeware on the M5Stack it just shows a white screen. Sounds logical after i think about it.
I had additinally the problem, that my usb port on the PC delivert not enough power so the M5Stack crashed repeatatly during connection with the M5Burner. Changing the port solved the problem.

Hi Rob,

i can confirm the flat top batterie fits way better than the other one. I had to cut a little bit more of the rubber inlay but now everything fits perfect.
Now waiting for the wireless charging pad and the set is complete.
First measurements will be taken soon.

Philipp,

Thanks for the feedback. Next batch we will send out, I will make the cut in the rubber liner a bit longer to have the options for protected batteries. The size on the board should just be inside the specs.

I just installed the update to my Zen (orange).
When i turn the Zen on, the screen shows the normal information. 
But after a few seconds the screen turns off (as expected), but there is no way to turn it on again (to lets say, end a drive).Tapping the screen does nothing.
The only way is to turn the Zen off and on again.

Hi,


Did you use the V3.5.6 (from the Core2 & tough selection on the right side) of the M5Burner?

I tried to recreate your problem, but could not. 
I flashed V3.2.6 from M5Stack on a M5Satck AWS (orange)and all works fine.

Could you make a video of the flashing/starting up and screen locking?

How long does it take to ship device to me, after I pay the order? Do you have devices ready for shipping or will need time to assemble them first?

Makarevich,

Typically, we assemble a bGeigieZen and run it for approximately 72 hours to ensure it functions properly. This process gives us increased assurance that the unit is reliable. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you need it shipped sooner, we can make an exception and build, test, and send out your bGeigieZen before the end of the month shipment. It will require a bit more effort on our part, but it's doable.

Hugs and peace,
rob

Ok, I expected you have them assembled already, so I thought that the only thing I have to do is to pay before the shipment. Would be nice if you are able to ship the unit before the end of month, but if it's extremely hard for you, I can wait till the shipping in the end of the month.

After testing, I will send it to you.

All,

We are making progress toward bringing the map back online. We've discovered methods to run the tile map locally on Ubuntu without using the Geiger app and no need for OSX to retile the files. 

The next challenge will be fixing the AWS setup to enable daily updates. Real-time devices now also function on the map.
