GC-01 J613 Tube - RadLog sending 0CPM "Possible Counter Failure"

Hi dudes and dudettes,

My GC-01 is working as a charm with the radmon firmware installed, but i'm experiencing an issue to submit logs to my account and station here

I configured RadLog software as :
COM 3 -> pefectly autodetected when i plug my GC01 in the usb thing
9600 Baud (as display in devices manager COM3 properties)
Wasn't sure if in need to select Kit with USB/TTL or another one (my GC-01 FIMSRI is using a usb-c to usb and is plugged on the usb standard port on my computer) so i selected USB/TTL so it uses COM3
My login info to radmon.org is valid

Still the data is well sent to my station in here, but without the real data, just Consecutive 0CPM recorded "Possile Counter Failure" because i guess it cannot read the logs stored on the Flash or live from the firmware :/

So if you guys have a solution to that, it's more than welcomed, or if you have a way to post manual reports, I take that too !

Stay Rad :)

Do you mean the firmware on this page?  https://radmon.org/index.php/forum/commericial-geiger-counters/1397-custom-firmware-for-the-fnirsi-gc-01

If so, and if it is similar to the FS2011 I think it may need the ST-LINK dongle to communicate with the PC. Have you tried just opening a regular terminal (putty etc.) and see if you are getting any CPM readings directly from the COM port? If radlog.exe isn't receiving a CPM via COM port it will just transmit 0's to radmon.org. Which I suspect is what is happening.

Yes, it is the latest version of the firmware you sent the Github link.

Well, just tried to serial COM3 but unable to connect or open the serial port as the message says.

I thought as much. I'm not aware that Gissio's firmware has ever sent in readings to radmon by anyone other than himself. I did a little digging and the two links below show a lot about it's operation and communications protocol, but sadly nothing on communicating with radmon, other than it can. I think the only person that could really help you is Gissio themselves. Here are the two links, they may or may not help:

So here's a little update about this

I've read the user manual and downloaded the radpro tool for commandline.

I can now export reports in csv from the COM port, or read it live in my terminal.

I also have the ability to live stream data using the following :

python tools/radpro-tool.py --port COM3 --submit-radmon USERNAME DATA_LOG_PASSWORD

which i try and in the terminal, it shows that it's atually sending data to radmon.org using my data submission credentials, but still no dot appears on the map or data in my station feed.

IT WORKS

My bad, I just needed Patience.

so here's the final workaround for people who may encounter the same issue as I did :

1/ If you are using the FNIRISI GC-01 counter using the radpro firmware :

download the radpro-tool from the firmware provider here : https://github.com/Gissio/radpro/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

2/ Install Python3 for your OS and add it to your PATH or ENV.

3/ Download prerequirements from the root folder :

pip install -r python tools/requirements.txt


4/ Then still from the root directory, set the live interval :

python tools/radpro-tool.py --port COM3 --live-datalog-period 10


5/ Finally you can livestream to radmon.org :

python tools/radpro-tool.py --port COM3 --submit-radmon USERNAME DATA_SUBMISSION_PASSWORD


Here you are !
