Lupin Forius Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 First off, I'm neither asking for them nor offering them (at least not yet).I'm curious as to what people here would want to see for sale to build as a kit. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo2520 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hello I was thinking about a kit that could mesure smd caps with a dig readout, or even a reader that could give you the value of a resistor just buy scaning it. Hey I am full of kits. How about a automatic inventory counter. mmm an automatic nightlight that can tell when you fell a sleep then turned off, just an idea. I don't know what did you have in mind gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nanop Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 How about this?Cheaper kits :)many kits I see r too expensive with just a few parts (resistors and capacitors basically costs nothing) and a PCB board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupin Forius Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Stupidly on my part, I forgot to mention that by "kit" I mean "build-your-own [insert whatever the final device is]"Cheaper kits :)What do you take me for, a bloodsucking corporation?? LOLCheaper goes w/o saying. Sure, I'll eventually try to make a profit selling kits. But I'm a hobbyist selling to hobbyists. This's just another aspect of the hobby...many kits I see r too expensive with just a few parts (resistors and capacitors basically costs nothing) and a PCB boardWell, the prices I'll set will be about equal to the cost of the parts + what I'm selling my designs for (don't worry, I'm modest :P ). I'll only make a profit off it, 'cos I'll be buying the parts in bulk, and reselling them individually. Hey, I'm honest, right? I'm one of you guys... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan w. Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hey, if you ever do make a kit.... can you tell me where to get it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Don't make cheap kits. There are too many of them now. Most don't work or don't last long.Make kits that are designed properly and therefore they will be reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvs sarma Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hiaudioguru is right in saying not make CHEAP kits. in general many kits are costly perhaps due to limited volumes sold, as compared to finished products. members prestigeous fourms like e-lab.com shold comeforward to be able design and realise instead of ckd or skd assembly. Here also, as Audioguru once put it -- we will be able to assemble but not give a finishing to it with a proper cabinet or a housing. If these are done for the sake of experience(hands on ) then the extra cost is worth it as person gains practical knowledge which will be a factor to deside his/her future.
