My homebrew geigerounter, built around a RPI zero uses a bash script to send the data to GMC. Worked allright until some unspecified moment. I recently found out about that. The string in the script was:

exec=`wget -O /dev/null "h_t_t_p://www.GMCmap.com/log2.asp?AID=XXXXX&GID=XXXXXXXXXXX&CPM=$line&ACPM=$gem&uSV=$sievert"`

Had to change it to:

exec=$(curl -s "h_t_t_p://www.GMCmap.com/log2.asp?AID=XXXXX&GID=XXXXXXXXXXX&CPM=$line&ACPM=$gem&uSV=$sievert" -o /dev/null)

If some other tinkerer has had the same problem, try using this approach.

(BTW remove the underscores)
