  The necessity to use Photo Multipliers (PM) as light detector limited in the
past the use of crystals in radiation handled device preferring the Geiger
approach. The Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are very small and cheap, solid
photon detectors with good dynamic range and single photon detection
capability, they are usable to supersede in some application cumbersome and
difficult to use Photo Multipliers (PM). A SiPM can be coupled with a
scintillator crystal to build efficient, small and solid radiation detector. A
cost effective and easily replicable Hardware software module for SiPM detector
readout is made using the ArduSiPM solution [1]. The ArduSiPM is an easily
battery operable handled device using an Arduino DUE (an open Software/Hardware
board) as processor board and a piggy-back custom designed board (ArduSiPM
Shield), the Shield contains all the blocks features to monitor, set and
acquire the SiPM using internet network.
