Tiny, cheap, simple, accurate, self powered resistive SWR and power meter for SOTA and back packers
BlinkySWR-0.1 is an open-source printed circuit board by bubnikv, from the bubnikv/BlinkySWR repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 50.5 × 28.5 mm with 47 parts on 28 nets, routed with 216 tracks and 97 vias.
It is built around the ATTINY13A-SSH and HT7130-1. Its parts include 15 resistors, 10 capacitors, 10 diodes, 5 connectors and 2 ICs. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

The SWR and power meter is based on a resistive bridge. The forward and reflected power is sampled by an ATTiny13A micro controller. The micro controller is powered by rectifying a tiny fraction of the input power, and the measured SWR and power is displayed by smoothly interpolating 6 high efficiency LED diodes.
Firmware for the ATTiny13A is found here, while the simulation and design data is found here.
The following picture shows the initial prototype of BlinkySWR, indicating SWR slightly above 1:1.

It measures 50.5 × 28.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
47 parts, built around the ATTINY13A-SSH and HT7130-1. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the bubnikv/BlinkySWR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/01/BlinkySWR-0.1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
