Most electronic components is dirt cheap, compared to engineering costs, pcb layout and manufacturing and EMC testing!


Peter:

I totally endorse everything that Per has put in his posting. I would like to add that all the development costs as listed above are reasonably priced compared to what it will cost you if you cut corners and end up with...

. A need to do a broad product replacement for free to your customers including shipping all over the place.

. The loss of credibility and lost customers that turn away from a junky product.

. The potential cost of dealing with the cost of litigation that may come from a customer that determines that a junk product lost them a ton of income and revenue.

I noticed in one of your responses to this thread you typed "...not sure my strategu is the best but I think it's the safest". This sounds like your are saying it may feel lowest risk or that it is easier in the path of getting the job done. Please do consider that building a good robust product is any thing but easy or without risk. It is actually damn hard work and requires an incredible attention to detail.

Good Luck
Michael Karas
