A great inspiration to someone dabbling in launching a "lean" hardware business.
How is $15,637.68 in raw materials calculated -- assuming $300 unit price and you sell 100 units? The rPI is $40-80, and the capture card is $35? The case and fan is probably $10 at the most?
- mtlynch 5y agoI share my costs in a previous post: https://mtlynch.io/retrospectives/2020/12/#voyager-pricing https://mtlynch.io/retrospectives/2020/12/#voyager-pricing My costs are a little higher because everyone's sold out of 2 GB Pis, so I've had to upgrade to the 4 GB, which costs $20 more. The big costs are the Pi boards, the HDMI capture chips, and the case. It also requires a lot of cables and a custom PCB, but I'm trying to reduce those in the next version.
