A portable logger and graph viewer for altitude, temperature, and pressure data.
Like a million other people on the Internet, I’ve been experimenting with home weather logging. I roll my eyes at the phrase “Internet of Things”, but it’s hard to deny the potential of cheap networked sensors and switches, and a…
The ESP8266 has exploded in popularity since its introduction a few years ago. With easy to use Arduino-compatible modules like the Wemos D1 Mini, it’s like having an Arduino that’s 5-10x faster, has 128x more memory, and has built-in WiFi,…

The Backwoods Logger is a programmable graphing altimeter / thermometer, originally developed here at BMOW and now an open hardware project. Interested in the Logger, but don’t want to build it yourself? Assembled Backwoods Logger Mini units, BLsync adapters, and blank Logger…
Have you always wondered what would happen to a Backwoods Logger Mini if it were crushed under your own body? No, neither have I, but today I found out anyway. I took out one of the newly-assembled Mini prototypes for…
My newest design is a PC downloader utility called blsync, created as part of the Backwoods Logger project. BLsync is a command line program with a corresponding hardware adapter, and it enables snapshot lists and temperature / altitude / pressure graphs to…
