Hackers in Residence - Cosmic Ray Detector

Troubleshooting

• If there is a greater rate of spikes in the region of the data after the radiation source is introduced, turn the trimpot a few degrees and try again until the rate is as low as can be.
• If at any point the neon bulb turns on, remove one battery to turn the detector off, rotate the trimpot a few degrees, and reattach the battery. If it comes back on, repeat this procedure.
