Backcountry Logger Mini Custom Build

Chris Stemple has finished the first custom build of a BMOW project by a reader, with a great-looking build of the Backcountry Logger Mini. Using some spare room on a panel from InternationalCircuits.com, Chris added and removed a few things from the original layout. His board features solder points for additional microcontroller pins, as well as a power switch and LED, while eliminating the external EEPROM chip. The build went smoothly except for some difficulty soldering the BMP085 sensor, which took the application of a heat gun to snap into place. Awesome work!

If you’re interesting in building a BMOW project, you’ll find all the design files and schematics on the summary page, listed under the Project Summaries header in the left margin.
