Anyone interested by doing a cheap version low res 1st and then make a
2nd run with high res when we get some experience ?
I calculated my design costs to be around 12000$US for hardware and some
7000-9500$US for software...
hardware sample (one unit) will chirp around 2000$US, I am ready to cut
about 30% because it's more of a hobby than real work...
as an incentive I can say that those who chip in for the design cost will
have a return on other unit sold afterward ...
production cost ... depends on the product selected... and I am waiting for
some price quote from Sharp, Linear tech and couple of other folks...
