This repository remains online so existing legacy Raspberry Pi bcMeter devices can keep updating from it. Its project status is legacy maintenance: it receives compatibility fixes for already deployed devices, but it is no longer the current Raspberry Pi bcMeter codebase.
For new setups and long-term maintenance, use the redesigned Raspberry Pi version: https://github.com/dahljo/bcmeter-pi.
The redesigned version was built from scratch for better maintainability, reliability, and setup/update workflows. Complete ready-to-flash Raspberry Pi images are available from https://bcmeter.org. Contact jd@bcmeter.org for questions.
Thank you for your interest! In this git you find everything you need to build your own bcMeter for non-commercial use as a citizen science device. for commercial use and licencing please contact jd@bcmeter.org.
download bcMeter.img from https://bcmeter.org and clone that to a microSD card - change WiFi credentials within bcMeters hotspot mode and you're ready.
see https://bcmeter.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#Alternative:_Manual_Set_Up_the_microSD_Card for instructions, the basic procedure is:
- write raspberry LITE(!) image to micro sd card with the help of the imager (https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-imager-imaging-utility/) - use the imager to configure SSH and WiFi BEFORE starting the write process!
- bootup raspberry pi and log into it via ssh, download and run install.sh script: wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dahljo/bcmeter/main/install.sh && sudo bash install.sh
- run bcMeter script
install.sh is a just a batch to configure the raspberry for the use as bcMeter bcMeter.py is the python script which saves the data as csv /interface contains a d3.js interface for reading out the csv file
in /gerbers you'll find the gerbers for PCB manufactoring.
in /stl you find the files for 3d printing.
