What is bcMeter

Two version of the bcMeter Circuit Board (PCB) are right now available: SMD (Surface mounted device) and THT (through hole technology). The THT-Version is the general purpose PCB since it can be used with 12V and the large pumps although it still provides 5V and 3.3V headers.

The SMD PCB is powered by the Raspberry Pi directly and thus can be used with a simple power bank.
