Output not correct on Geiger Counter (SEN 11345)

Development Boards Arduino

My code is below, I have a wire going from TX to A2 on my arduino. All the output I get is 0’s even when the counter flashes up, what am I doing wrong?

//definitions

int analogPin= A2;

int Geiger= analogRead(analogPin);

void setup() {

// put your setup code here, to run once:

Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

Serial.println(Geiger);

delay(1000);

}

You only read once (during the declaration of the Geiger variable)

//definitions
int analogPin= A2;
int Geiger;

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  Geiger = analogRead(analogPin);
  Serial.println(Geiger);

  delay(1000);
}

That will at least take care of the problem. As I don’t know how the Geiger counter works, I can not say if this does what needs to be done.

PS

please use code tags when posting code (or compiler error messages); if you quote my post, you can see how it is done

The default firmware of the Geiger counter outputs counts per minute on the serial line.
