Interesting work! 
What you think about design a pcp where we could integrate those modules, making a compact unit?
Definitely I would like to build one or two of these things. My main weather station receiver (as the PC running Cumulus) is powered via an 220V UPS, but this small UPS will be very usefull for my other test units.
The use of DCDC converter with a voltmeter included may help to quickly check the output voltage before connecting the UPS to the load (WeatherDuino is this case)

Quote:The XL 6009 DCDC converter has to be adjusted to the correct voltage. It should be about 0.2 or 0.3V lower than the voltage you can measure at the WeatherDuino if it is not connected. Be sure to adjust it always before connecting because a too high voltage set here might damage the WeatherDunio!
It is also recommend to put a glue dot on the potentiometer after the voltage is set to prevent it from moving again.
