If they are *ANY GOOD* at their business, they can work it out from that.


If only it were that simple!  :roll:

Even if we had a list of part numbers from Dennis (and it's very hard to identify some of the components from sight or the schematics) - some of those are now unavailable and substitutes have to be found/tested/verified.
As more people build these we will get a better and more complete BOM.

Then you are looking at investment in a substantial run to keep the cost under $200.

I think it's a good idea to get as many self built minimigs done - get the community going and people experimenting - and then produce a minimig design that will appeal to as many people as possible.  :-)

All IMHO!

Chinese electronics firms have been known to copy and mimick items which have then been seen for sale at a vastly reduced rate.


Isn't that a good thing with Minimig.

It's open source you know!

We are talking Dennis van Weeren not Steve Jobs!  :-D
