The platform spans the source-available '''bcMeter (DIY)''' (build it yourself) and the ready-to-use '''bcMeter Kit, bcMeter Complete and eBcMeter''' instruments. Whether you are setting up a new device, configuring measurements, or building your own unit, this wiki covers everything you need. == Getting Started == * [[Introduction]] — What is bcMeter, how it works, capabilities * [[Setup]] — Hardware requirements, first boot, WiFi configuration * [[Interface]] — Web dashboard overview, status indicators, chart controls == Using bcMeter == * [[Configuration]] — All settings: network, measurement, device, email * [[Maintenance]] — Filter changes, calibration, data management * [[Troubleshooting]] — Common issues and solutions * [[Best practices]] — Environment, sampling, signal quality == Technical Reference == * [[Developer mode]] — Hidden developer settings, hardware tuning * [[API reference]] — REST API endpoints for automation and integration * [[CSV data format]] — Column definitions and data structure * [[Serial commands]] — USB debug interface == bcMeter (DIY) — build it yourself == ''These pages document the source-available bcMeter (DIY) — the Raspberry-Pi-based design, freely available for private, educational and research use (CC BY-NC 4.0), built from open design files (nothing is sold). The assembled bcMeter Kit, Complete and eBcMeter use a different hardware design.'' * [[Working principle]] — Optical measurement principle * [[Bill of material]] — Component list and costs (bcMeter DIY) * [[Device assembly]] — Hardware build instructions (bcMeter DIY) == Software == The bcMeter software is source-available — freely available for private, educational and research use (CC BY-NC 4.0): '''[https://github.com/dahljo/bcmeter-pi github.com/dahljo/bcmeter-pi]''' The codebase includes the web [[Interface|interface]], [[API reference|REST API]], measurement engine, and all device management functionality. == Contact == * '''Technical inquiries & devices:''' Jonas Dahl — jd@bcmeter.org * '''Black carbon science & air quality:''' Axel Friedrich — af@bcmeter.org * '''Project website:''' [https://bcmeter.org bcmeter.org] c6f7yct28wbf877v6414mmwq26oupx5
