New SiPMs and state of the project

A project log for All-In-One Gamma-Ray Spectrometer

More sensitive to gamma radiation than a Geiger counter with the added bonus of telling exactly what's inside your samples!

First of all, the MICROFC-60035-SMT-TR SiPMs are back in stock, yay! There are now almost 10,000 SiPMs at Mouser at a very affordable price of only EUR 34. I'm really excited to see how fast they sell out this time again ;)

On another note, here is a quick update on the state of the project:

Unfortunately, a package with important parts from LCSC, I was waiting for quite some time, didn't arrive in time and actually got lost in shipping it turns out. I now have to wait for the replacement package from China, which will take some time. In the meantime I have produced some new PCBs, which I will test with the new parts. There are some great quality of life improvements already, so stay tuned for the new revision. Not going too much into detail here, but expect some progress updates a couple of weeks from now.

Please also feel free to leave some feedback! :)
