For the cost of the control PCB, it includes silkscreening, soldermask, and a 2 sided 8"x3" pcb. It's also really low volume right now. Here's the cost per board for greater volumes:
QTY 3= $35.80
QTY 10=$21.60
QTY 20=$18.53
QTY 100= $13.00
It's not bad once you really get up there. But there's no way I want to order 100 right away. We need to test this thing! The guy that put in so much work on this version wants to assemble all 3, (for free, by the way) look for errors in the copper artwork, any mistakes that you just don't know about until you try it. He's also going to do the testing, modify component values based on what works best, and then we'll get a new BOM together, reflecting the new component values.
Also, we really need to see how all the new code works on the untested new features of the control board. I might have to reprogram some chips and mail them to him. I'd rather do exchanges with a single location for the initial testing.
