The key is to adapt. I am 100% sure a design made by hundreds of users would be better then from one single designer. You know the good old saying "Too many cooks spoil the broth."? Even if your users were 100%-ly experts this will heavily go wrong. Because good electonic solutions follow certain individual philosophies which connot be simply combined. If, on the other hand, your users are not 100%-ly experts, then such an average design will be trash in any case. Not the best raises the standard, but the worst pulls it down! How this works can be seen in many electronic fora: A newbie comes with a "standard circuit" which he has found in the web and asks for help, because it doesn't work. In most cases this circuit is trash, because he fetched it from the wrong website, from the website of an self explained expert who has made modifications to this circuit, or who has adapted the circuit from another "expert's" website who also made modifications. The result is an overwhelming number of websites recommending circuits that are trash. But as the amateur is an amateur he cannot see, that it is trash. No, the trash has now become the new "standard", because it can be seen many more times in the web than the proper circuit. Good circuits cannot be cheap, because the designer must buy expensive test equipement and measuring tools, must invest time in learning, discussing, going to the EMC laboratory, visiting customers, and and and. Just your example with the weighing scale: To be sure that your weighing scale is good enough you must buy a testing weighing scale that is at least ten time more acurate than the product you want to sell. But unfortunately this standard weighing scale isn't stable enough and must be recalibrated periodically by some organisation. This is very very expensive! The customer wants to be sure, that your weighing scale is as acurate as you promise. How to convince him? By telling him that your company fullfills ISO9000 standards. ISO9000 certification is also very very expensive and has to be done every year! Yes, many companies even refuse to cooperate with you, if you are not ISO9000 certified... So, dear Nagos, you have costs over costs before even the first weighing scale is sold. Kai Klaas |
