hi all,
time has come to put this bugger in to production — at least a small batch — i am thinking 25 or 50 pcs first depending on the demand. i will probably set up a kickstarter project to get initial funding, but if you are interested in a CFO, please comment on this blog already now. it’s nice to have encouragement for those boring searches through part catalogues and web shops.
i need to find cheap parts to make this work — any help to bring the final price down would be greatly appreciated!
my main concern are these:
- cheap atmega 328s
- small batch PCB production
- LCD displays (2×16 characters or even 4×16 would be awesome, preferably red text on black)
come on internets! help me!

AllElectronics.com has some parts for very cheap. I buy from them occasionally. SparkFun is good too.
