Lessons from Running a Small-Scale Electronics Factory in My Guest Bedroom
If you're going to produce a reasonable-sized batch of anything electronic, I'd strongly recommend:a) doing some reading on design for manufacturingb) getting some quotes for PCB assembly services andc) considering factory-programmed microcontrollersAt quantity 200, you could have simple boards like these assembled for about a buck a piece. Microchip will program 200 PIC or Atmel microcontrollers from the factory for about 20 cents each with a $29 setup fee. Unless you're willing to work for a very low hourly rate, you should probably take advantage of someone else's economies of scale.https://pcbshopper.com/#assemblyhttps://www.microchipdirect.com/programming/Tutorial.aspx?mi...
