# GQ Geiger-Müller counter (GMC) CPM/CPS data feed

Forked from https://sourceforge.net/p/gqgmc/code/ci/master/tree/

## Changes made

Updated `make` configs to build `gqgmc` driver only, compatible with Raspberry Pi (`CPUSIZE` to `mbe32`).

With `main` running a loop, printing a ISO-8601 timestamp and requested datapoint line, every second.

## Commands

`cpm` for Counts Per Minute (default).

`cps` for Counts Per Second.

## Usage

`./bin/gqgmc  `

Install `51-gqgmc.rules` at `/etc/udev/rules.d` (configured for GMC-300E Plus) to map `/dev/gqgmc` otherwise provide the correct `tty` when calling command, i.e. `/dev/ttyUSB1`

### Default

`./bin/gqgmc [/dev/gqgmc] [cpm]`

## Testing

GQ GMC-300E Plus

## UI

Work in progress: [Next.js with D3](https://github.com/AlexanderGW/gqgmc-ui)

## Original Author

Based on work by Phil Gillaspy

## Original README

 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

 1. Download the code from sourceforge into a directory of your choice.

    This will be referred to as your root directory.

 

 2. The following list of files need to be downloaded. Obtain them from

    the gqgmc folder.

    Makefile

    Defines.mk

    Patterns.mk

    Targets.mk

    gqgmc.cc

    gqgmc.hh

    main.cc

    main_gui.cc

    plotter.hh

    plotter.cc

    51-gqgmc.rules

    

 3. Create the following subdirectories of your root directory:

    bin

    libs

    obj

    

    For example, "mkdir bin", "mkdir libs", "mkdir obj".

    

 4. Edit Defines.mk and change the definition of BASE to the

    path of your root directory. If you will be compiling for 32-bit

    Linux, change the definition of CPUSIZE from "-m64" to "-m32"

    in Defines.mk. 

    

 5. From the command line, you should be able to build the 

    'gqgmc_gui' and 'gqgmc' executables which if the build is successful

    will be put into bin subdirectory. Try "make all" as the build

    command. 

 6a. Copy the 51-gqgmc.rules file to the /etc/udev/rules.d directory and

    force the reload of udev rules:

    

    sudo cp ./51-gqgmc.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-gqgmc.rules

    sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

    Disconnect the GQ GMC-300 from the computer and then reconnect.

    Verify that there exists a /dev/gqgmc in the /dev directory with

    read/write permission for all users.

    ls -la /dev/gqgmc

 

    

 6b. With the GQ geiger counter connected to your PC via USB and turned

    on, start either bin/gqgmc or bin/gqgmc_gui from a console command

    line. The USB device name must be supplied from the command line, e.g.,

    bin/gqgmc /dev/gqgmc

    bin/gqgmc_gui /dev/gqgmc

    

    The code expects the GQ GMC USB device name to be /dev/gqgmc. This

    device name was created at step 6a.

    

 7. The following is a list of prerequisites for successful compilation:

 

    a. Ubuntu Linux 11.10, 12.04 or 14.04

    b. GNU g++ 4.6.x or more recent compiler installed

    c. Qt4 Software Development Kit (SDK) installed

       or Qt Creator installed (required only for GUI)
