This is show and tell time. I wanted to show you what I have been working on.
This is a project exactly two years in the making.
This is a gamma-ray spectrum analyzer to be used in nuclear research and radiation and medical physics research and therapy.
This is a screen shot of the VGA output. It shows three windows, an oscilloscope, a histogram and a text window showing the region of interest. This is an energy spectrum of cobalt-60 from a NaI detector.
The chip that I am using is STM32F407 running at 168MHz. The ADC is digitizing the detector signal at 42Msps. I am totally amazed with the power and capabilities of the STM32F4. This is a project that has been on-going for the past ten years in various shapes. I have been waiting for a chip like the STM32F4 for the last five years and now that I have experienced what it can do I am totally blown away.
Here are photos of the finished unit, assembled and exploded with its parts.
This project is still not completed. There are some more features that I would like to add. As it is now, it is going to market.
