Ok, so this page has been pretty quiet for a while now. I am in the middle of a huge house renovation project that has been taking a lot of my time, but I have had a few projects going in the background, so I'll give an update on those.
First off, prices for the 24V AC SSR and Smart BLDC Commutator circuits have been reduced a little. Purchasing higher volumes of components has brought my price down and I wanted to pass those savings on to you. Also, I removed the "temporarily out of stock" note on the Smart BLDC board (d'oh!).
The Wireless HVAC Sensor circuits now have a PCB + Components option. No assembly at this time, but that brings me to my next point.
I have things in motion to resurrect my old reflow toaster oven to start offering full assemblies of the surface mount circuits. Solder paste stencils are on order and I've been rewiring the oven to be more permanent than its last incarnation. Along with that, I will be writing a blog post on how I converted my toaster oven and the control logic used.
And since I will have a reflow oven I ordered prototypes of a SMD version of the popular 24V AC SSR board. This will hopefully offer even more savings on the assembled option once everything is up and running. Bare PCB and PCB + Component options will continue to ship as the through hole version.
My 3D printer is still in progress. No major advancements in the last several months, but lots of sourcing parts and CAD modeling. It is my plan to have it finished before the end of 2015.
I have some other ideas floating around in my head that I will start to tinker with as I have time available. Keep checking back for updates!
product prototyping can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Some prototypes are simple wireframes for website designs, while others are made from common household items to demonstrate the concept, and still others are high-fidelity versions of a final product that can be finalized and brought to market quickly.
