i have always concidered the CBA to be pretty reasonably priced, not for what it IS, but for what it does, and how valuable the info has been when shown to us , thanks to the people who have them who put in way more than the $100+ bucks in THIER time to display the results.
hardware and its software too , developed for a long time, connections to the computer, dealing with microsoft alone is worth the $100
anything that does almost the same thing, and that sold for half that, would probably be used by many more people than the CBAs have been used. heck that isnt the price of a charger.
I dont have a CBA, because it doesnt have a charger IN it, from what i understand, its really a CDBA
will it work via the USB? will you program in something OTHER than net framework, how many other THINGS will we have to buy if we get the cheap version and have to mod it up to the CBA that is sold, thermal probes, graphing, we need a resistance checker, might as well put that in too
i hope you can pull it off even if its $100 and only does what the competition does, and there isnt any stupid patent garbage from someone who didnt even make/sell one.
just a RC wattmeter thing can cost $46 and it was more when it first came out. so there must be markets , but it might have to reach those markets for to be profitable for your time.
to commit to it at a specifc price, we would have to hear all the magic plans , and features that it will have, and how glorious it would be without bugs, then we can ***** about it later , or you could just do what the rest of the expert modders and electrical engeneers have done before.
make one for you, and show it, and see if the
signs :goodjob:start popping up
there are people who would assemble it themselves, and there are people who would buy it who both couldnt assmemble it, wouldnt assemble it, and people like me, who would assemble it backwards
where they sell kits of some thing, they have started selling assembled kits of the same thing, for 2X the money, for the lesser skilled.
i assume they make money on both, EVEN if i have the skill to assemble the kits, i prefer the ones pre-assembled when available , because the person putting many together doesnt fumble around so much, there is a reasonable expectation that it worked before i got it (vrses because i built it).
I aint soldering no hairleg chips myself, i can barely do repairs on stuff like that, for me to assemble it it would have to have old school big parts.
