aaronreichmenberliner commented 7 years ago

Carlo @luzlab orders new circuits for testing and assessing electronic bugs.

aaronreichmenberliner commented 7 years ago

@luzlab please update with quotes when ready. Also please document process in #8

luzlab commented 7 years ago

I have 3 quotes. All of the prices are for 4 units.

Supplier Main Sensor Leadtime
AdvAss $2800 $1800 21 days
Sonic $4800 $ 1100 6 days
Sonic $4100 $1150 10 days
Sonic $1780 $500 13? days
Sonic $1400 $410 15? days
CircuitHub $1500 $410 21 days

AdvAss provides a 1st article for testing. Sonic and CircuitHub do not, they just deliver all the boards all at once.

@luzlab Will review with accounting. Most likely CircuitHub. Will have answer in next two hours.

aaronreichmenberliner commented 7 years ago

@luzlab Ok. If you are certain that these electronics are designed and will work, go with CircuitHub. Do you want to order, or should we?

luzlab commented 7 years ago

Let me get the quote from Sonic. Not having a 1st article is significant. Especially since you asked me if I’m “certain”. Unlike code, we have to build the physical board to test. I’ve already 5+ hours updating and double-checking the boards, but having a 1st article will let us test 1 and make minor changes to the design before assembling the last four. Also, Sonic is local and reputable. On the other hand, no one I know has any personal experience with CircuitHub and I don’t know where they do they’re manufacturing.

Lets talk about this tomorrow in person.

+1

luzlab commented 7 years ago

Since Sonic doesn't do first article, I've asked AdvAss if they can come down. I prefer using their 1st article service rather than just getting all 4 boards made in one shot.

luzlab commented 7 years ago

I'll place the orders on Monday.
