The hardware is made up by an Arduino Uno board that worked as CPU. The Arduino board has above it another board called Trackuino which was in charge to send us the data via APRS tracking system and radio signal.

The Geiger-Müller Counter is the main detector of Cosmosafi. It has a specific tube that permits the entrance of radiation. When this radiation enters, the 5V voltage of the detector is transformed into sound to make sure radiation is found. It is of a high importance that this is the first time ever a Geiger-Müller Counter is used together with an Arduino board.

The software of CosmosAfi is coded in C++ language. We created a self-made software that could work together with the Geiger Counter board and at that the same time broadcasted all the incoming data from the different detectors.
