Hardware source files for the SQMeter open-source sky quality meter.
The main firmware, web UI, and documentation live in the SQMeter repo. This repo is the canonical source of truth for the electronics design and manufacturing files.

Hardware versions follow vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH tied to physical board revisions.
v0.x.x— prototype / bring-upv1.0.0— first stable public release
Hardware versions are independent of firmware versions. A firmware update does not require a new board revision.
Requires KiCad 8 with kicad-cli on your PATH.
