Hi,
Just looking on any pointers for reducing costs on a project I want to market. I am using a Teensy LC and assembled PCB with approx 50 parts. It also incorporates an extruded aluminum case, display, and some other misc parts. I have done some stuff already:
- Source all electronic parts from one distributor to lower shipping costs
- I have a goal to have assembly on one side only (possibly solder any remaining bottom side parts myself)
- Design with 2 layer board only
- Some non essential parts I am buying through Ebay because they are so cheap and free shipping
Only making 10 - 30 at a time so i am just going to use the Teensy LC and not migrate to a board that only uses the IC.
Any input appreciated.
