I'm curious to know what your thinking is on that $80 price point. I have bought controllers from Andy and did think they seemed expensive for what they are, but then I don't know much about the costs of doing custom board design and fabrication, either in development cost or production cost.
Are you saying that you think you can make a board comparable to the one that Andy makes for significantly less than $80 and still make a comfortable profit (if you're not planning on making a profit, then I don't think you can really be serious, since there is no way that you're going to be able to sustain the time and energy necessary to complete this project without an expected payoff)?
If so, can you give any details about what leads you to that conclusion? I'm genuinely curious.
