An FPGA example with Geiger-Müller counter shield for sensing radiation particles

I integrated the Geiger-Müller shield with FPGA examples used for educational programs I am involved with.
The video is here https://youtu.be/IQ6o_dLLRvY
My design is here https://github.com/yuri-panchul/basics-graphics-music/blob/main/labs/17…
It is obvious I had to buy a board with two bulbs (two bulbs make a more interesting demo).
My design measures not only the number of particles but also the sum of their pulse lengths.
Currently, I put the example on the Terasic DE10-Lite board, but since all my examples are automatically portable to ~30 boards from Xilinx, Intel FPGA/ Altera, Gowin and Lattice, I can create demos on those boards as well (I just need to put a proper GPIO pin there).
