{{Note|1='''bcMeter (DIY)''' — This page documents the bill of materials for the source-available bcMeter (DIY) — the Raspberry-Pi-based design, freely available for private, educational and research use (CC BY-NC 4.0). The assembled bcMeter instruments use a different PCB design.}}
It is necessary to use an air pump which is stabilized and has a known airflow or use an airflow meter. We tested with Thomas 1410V (12V - ~300€) or 2002 (3.3V - ~150€) Diaphragm Pumps
The airflow is mandatory for correct calculation and has to be adjusted in the python script - we're happy to help you out here, just contact us.

# '''bcMeter Pi Hat''' — Order prepopulated (~95 EUR) or build your own from PCB + components (~5 EUR per PCB for 10+ on JLCPCB or similar)
# '''Raspberry Pi 3A or Zero 2 W''' (~35 EUR)
# '''MicroSD Card''' (~10 EUR)
# '''Power Supply 5.25V/2A''' (~15 EUR)
# '''Air Pump''' (~10–200 EUR depending on type)

== 3D Printed Case ==
STL files for 3D Printing (SLA or FDM): [https://github.com/dahljo/bcmeter/tree/main/stl GitHub repository] — printing material ~10 EUR.
Use black filament/resin. FDM is prone to leakage if not properly configured. If possible, mix resin with flex resin.
== Filter Paper ==
== Filter Paper ==
Pallflex T60A20 Filter Paper was used during developement and is sadly discontinued. We have a small stock of T60A20 left, so we may send you some material. <br><br>
We're testing the better available https://www.amazon.com/7194-Non-Heat-Pallflex-Tissuquartz-Laboratory/dp/B0731SG18R. <br>
AE33 filter paper is standard for bcMeter. Any filter paper with a known scattering factor can be used. See [[Best practices#Supported Filter Papers|Supported Filter Papers]] for correction factors.
Or you may send us a sample of your filter paper and we happily calibrate bcMeter with it!<br>
== Bill of Material for general purpose PCB (THT components & 12V DC Barrel Jack) ==
Send a sample of your filter paper to jd@bcmeter.org for calibration.
