VoCore team on their site[1] said that VoCore2 Lite is "very very close" to cost. I concur, as the heart of that VoCore2 board - MediaTek MT7688AN SoC chip costs between $2.79 and $3.35 (depending on the order quantity) on the Alibaba wholesale site[2]. Congrats to VoCore team to make low cost IoT DIY projects possible and affordable for students. PS: If you weren't familiar with MediaTek, their SoC chip was the King of Shanzhai culture[3] during early iPhone era.
