    I looked up the project for you
    is this it ?


    http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_112249/article.html



    I will see if I can get a pcb or kit for you

    this seems to be the pcb it was updated
    sc 04112102 $ 27.50 3210B USB Data Logger - RCS A/W 2011Jan


    Here in australia only one company makes the pcbs for SC
    the owner has recently died
    but I will try and make some enquires if his son
    is still making the boards
    http://users.tpg.com.au/rcspcb/index1.htm



    I may have found a kit for you, says low stocks but need to check $79.95 AUD plus postage
    http://www.altronics.com.au/index.as...=item&id=K2572

    some changes in the mean time


    USB Data Logger, December 2010-February 2011: (1) In order to support baud rates greater than 57.6kbps (ie, up to 0.5Mbps), change the two 100nF monolithic capacitors on the A0/D4 and A1/D5 inputs to 10nF. (01/11)
    (2) To improve filtering of the +3.3V supply rail, the 22uF tantalum capacitor on the output of REG1 should be changed to a 220uF 10V low-ESR electrolytic (Jaycar RE-6300). This applies to both the circuit diagram in Pt.1 (December 2010, page 3 and to the overlay diagram in Pt.2 (January 2011, page 35). Note that there are two 22uF tantalum capacitors shown adjacent to REG1 on the overlay. The capacitor on the left is the one to change. The parts list in Pt.1 should be amended accordingly. (02/11)
    (3) The specified inductor has been found to be not suitable for the frequencies at which the regulator operates. This can cause excessive current to be drawn at start-up and with low battery voltages. As a result, it should be changed to a 47uH high frequency ferrite choke (Jaycar LF-1100) which fits in its place. Also, a new version of the firmware is now available (v9.92) which, in combination with the new inductor, reduces the current drawn at start-up as well as fixing some other bugs. (04/11)
    (4) Revised software reduces start-up power consumption and squashes a few bugs - see May 2011 issue. (05/11)

    Hello 6666 ,

    Thanks for the info !!

    Now I know way it is hard to get a pcb... sad ...

    Some time ago I have send a mail to Altronics, they have send then me a friendly mail that at that moment no kit was on stock..Some week ago have mailed them again,not yet a answer...

    See the pcb that I made from the schematic that was in the Silicon chip mag, hope no errors in it..
    Smd is new for me so I hope that I have connected the SD card holder in the correct way ..

    Think that is a very nice logger.... if I can get it to work.

    Thanks 6666 for the info, if you can get more info from a pcb ?

    Best regards.

    Ap

      Hi Ap!
      Do you really need this ? you can find great dataloggers like this one:

        Hi ap
        I spoke to altronics on the phone
        they are not that far from me, about a 20 minute car drive
        they say they are out of stock of the kit
        they hope to get new kits in mid August 2011

        I will make inquires with the other company
        re a pcb.

            Hello Fred,

            Yes .. there are very nice loggers !
            But if you read the info from the Silicon chip logger ...
            You can attach a gps logger , can log 2 freq. inputs ... so who needs a EPE mag ?
            It is a very nice concept .. I think.. and making it as a DIY project is also nice ...

            But now it is not working ... I do not know what’s wrong... It is like sitting on a Island in the middle of the ocean and not knowing where to go ...

            Best regards.

            Ap

              Big welcome for Api ... I want to ask the photo sensor. A brief description of the tests danogo devices ... And another question (I am not seen as advertising) that this approach for this project? .. http://radiomarket.lg.ua/index.php?c...n297is013sic64 Good luck to all ..

                Hello Smity,

                The logger is not working...(yet) you want a photo from what sensor?
                Thanks for the link.

                Best regards.

                  Hi AP
                  I have some news for you
                  first the kits at altronics are months from being delivered if they get them at all

                  But I have finally got on to the people who can make the PCB
                  they are Australian $30.25
                  plus postage to me is $4.40

                  PLUS postage to you, this is unknown untill I take it to the post office, maybe ~$8.00 airmail.

                  Now I have to send them a cheque, in the mail, and If they have it in stock
                  they will send it on the friday of that week, after my check clears.

                  If they do not have it in stock they will make the PCB, and send it to me on the friday of that week, after my cheque clears at the bank, so there is some possible delay.

                  Friday is their posting day

                  What would you like me to do ?
                  cheers 6666

                    Hello ,
                    Sure, I like to have a pcb from the original design....then I can compare it with the one I made after the schematic that was in Silicon Chip. The layout from the original pcb was never in the magazine...

                    Thanks for getting the info ! Going to send you a PM.

                    Best regards
