A project log for BetaBoard - Tiny Particle Physics Lab

A Business Card Sized Particle Detector

In planning the PCB casing, I forgot that I needed a layer of black tape to block out light. With the PCB stack that I created, I had to wrap the front panel in tape.
My simple solution for now is to add an additional PCB directly below the top PCB. This adds nothing to the functionality and makes the whole device thicker, but it somehow irked me that it did not look as intended.

Components to assemble a betaBoard, including the new panel.
The assembled detector: ready to count some beta particles.
