README
README.mdSSCosmicRay
Cosmic ray detectors are a common physics experiment and frequently flown on balloons to measure the change in cosmic ray flux with altitude. These experiments are typically performed with off the shelf Geiger–Müller tube based detectors. G-M tubes are typically quite expensive and involve high voltages which can become difficult to manage in the near vacuum experienced with high altitude balloons. A reverse biased photodiode can be used in much the same way as a G-M tube but with lower cost, lower voltage, almost no dead time, and the additional benefit of an output voltage proportional to the radiation energy.

Questions
How big is the SSCosmicRay PCB?
It measures 80 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SSCosmicRay use?
139 parts, built around the STM32L151C6T6, AOZ1280CI, AD8616ARZ and LM2903DT. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the SSCosmicRay KiCad files?
From the ethanharstad/SSCosmicRay repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/SSCosmicRay.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SSCosmicRay design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ethanharstad before reusing the design.
