PiGI Software Hacking & Hackathon

For the last couple of days we've been really busy pushing the pyGI/webGI software suite that goes alongside the PiGI to make it a really useful geiger counter and we're very proud and happy to show you some of our preliminary results. Our goal was simple: Build the most cost-effective, non-profit, open-source geiger counter and offer more features with an easy to use interface than any other commercially available solution. Even now in the early states we already have achieved that goal.

It runs entirely on modern HTML5/CSS3/JS architecture and we test/support modern open-source browsers like chromium and firefox. The whole setup has been shifted to a mobile-first approach, so you can use the webGI interface on any modern smartphone or tablet as well as a “big” computer or a web enabled TV. Here are a couple of sneak-previews:
