Arduino Uno, Mega2560 & Pro Mini + ENC28J60 ethernet adapter - Bare-bones code
1 year 4 months ago - 1 year 4 months ago #6319
by Simomax
Here is some Arduino code for the Arduino Uno, Mega2560 and Pro Mini with ENC28J60 ethernet adapter. This is bare-bones code only. It does only these things: receives pulses on pin 2 (Uno, Mega & Pro Mini), calculates CPM and submits it to Radmon.org (via ENC28J60) every 60 seconds. It has a little debugging that can print to serial and I have also added CPM print to serial (much like the NetIO GC-10) that can be used with the Radlog windows logging software - and that is it. Nothing more, nothing less. It works. I used my own custom code I had previously written for other devices and pulled snippets from the internet for the ENC28J60.
To use this you simply connect pin 2 to your Geiger detector, load the code and change your radmon.org username and submission password, and that is all.
NOTE: Make sure the pulses coming from your detector are logic level <= 5v or you may destroy your Arduino, or damage your detector circuit, or both. In testing I used my Geiger Counter development (bread)board which is basically a copy of an early GK geiger counter (thank you Brohogan for making it open source - much appreciated!) You may need additional electronics to interface your detector to the Arduino which is not covered here.
There are some differences between Uno/Pro Mini and Mega 2560. The pins for MOSI, MISO, SCK and SS are different on the Mega 2560. Make sure you connect up to the correct pins and also comment/uncomment the specific line in void setup() for the particular Arduino you are using.
Some thoughts on the ENC28J60 - Personally, I would not use this for radmon.org. That's just my opinion, but after many many pitfalls whilst trying to get this to work with all three boards, I nearly gave up. I didn't and persevered and did finally get it working. The ENC28J60 does not have it's own TCP stack (unlike the Wiznet 5100 which has it's own in hardware). This means that the library takes up a large amount of memory on the Uno and Pro Mini - 24k used out of 32k available. This would mean that adding things such as a screen or another 'thing' will cause the Arduino to run out of memory, fast. The library I have used is a new library for the ENC28J60 and can be downloaded in the Adruino library manager (pictured below) and the github page is https://github.com/JAndrassy/EthernetENC .
The ENC28J60 requires 3.3v for operation, but is 5v tolerant. In testing I just connected it to 5v on the Pro Mini (that has no 3.3v pin) and it worked fine for testing.
In all it was a massive PITA to get working and left me with little memory on the Adruino Uno and Pro Mini for anything else. I really wouldn't use this adaptor, unless it was an absolute must for one reason or another. I won't be supporting this code at all. Not in the slightest. I suggest you use something else that is not the ENC28J60.
Here is the code:
When running properly you should see it startup and start to detect events in the debug log like this:
When it submits the CPM to Radmon.org, you should see this in the debug log:
If all is well and you want to use the serial CPM output then simply turn off debugging (debug = false) and enable the printCPM (printCPM = true). You will then get a serial output that can be used with other equipment, or the Radlog windows software, and should look like this:
Again, use this at your peril. It does work just like the code for the WizNet W5100 (it is in fact the same code with a couple of small alterations) but having little memory left and the PITA it was to get ti working just puts me off using it for anything solid.
Cheers!

| ArduinoBB Giraffe ENC 1.0 |
| Bare-bones Arduino counter for Geiger counter and submission to Radmon.org written by Simomax. |
| This is very basic code. It will detect pulses on pin 2 and calculate the CPM every second. It will then submit the CPM to Radmon.org every 60 seconds. |
| It has a debug option and also option to print the CPM to serial every second, much like the NetIO- GC-10, which can also be used with the Radlog windows software. |
| |
| You are free to do anything you want with this code. There is no license. You are allowed to use/copy/change/share the code without having to attribute myself, |
| although it would be appreciated if you did. You are also free to use this in any commercial setting. |
| Radmon.org is free and always has been and in that sentiment, so is this code, as is all of my code that I share on the Radmon.org forums unless specifically stated. |
| If you would like to give something back then please consider a small donation to Radmon.org or even better, become a regular user of the Radmon.org forums. It has become a little quiet of late |
| and some new users to the forum would be welcomed, by everyone I am sure. |
| |
| This was tested on both Uno and Mega2560. The the ethernet shield was plugged onto the Uno and Mega2560 during tests. |
| The ENC28J60 uses pins (Uno & Pro Mini) 10 - CS, 11 - SI, 12 - SO, 13 - SCK. (Mega) 53 - CS, 51 - SI, 50 - SO, 52= - SCK. Voltage is 3.3v |
| TTL Geiger counter input on pin 2 |
| Comment/uncomment the line in void setup() depending if you are running an Uno/Pro Mini or a Mega 2560 |
| |
| This code comes without warranty or support. I am happy to answer questions in the Radmon forums and chat, but try and keep it within the code. I may not be able to help with your own code |
| outside my own. |
| If it breaks you get to keep all the pieces! |
| |
| Have fun and happy counting! |
