Hi All,
Several people have expressed an interest in buying my project in kit form. I have built many kits in my day, and I would like to offer one. I am concerned about the assembly difficulty level. About half of the devices are surface mount. The CF socket is a very fine pitch device, and requires a small soldering iron tip and fine solder. Also I could not solder it without solder wick to fix solder-bridges.
The other issue is that I would not be able to accept returns on kits after someone has started assembling them. If the assembled kit didn't work, I guess I could offer a fee based service to fix and test any boards sent back. If I do offer a kit, it would probably be priced around $75. (subject to change) With a fee of $50 if they want me to fix it for them.
If you have any thoughts please reply.
I am wondering:
1) Would you be interested in a kit?
2) I can't discount it much, is it worth it?
3) What would you expect of me, if the assembled kit didn't work, due to assembly errors?
Feel free to ramble...
