Re: Micro-Driver laser driver *NOW ADJUSTABLE*
Update:
Ok, I have a few things going on.
First, I want to go ahead with my new driver. I still have some testing to do to finalize a design and I'll probably send one off for testing by a member here (I'm not looking for offers, I already know who). Once the design is finished, I'll find all the parts I need, figure out the costs and then when I get everything ready, start selling.
But, for these new driver, I am considering having the boards manufactured. I found a US company that seems to have really good prices, but I need to get my board redesigned in their program to get the final price... so that's still a maybe. It would save me a GREAT deal of work, though. However, they take time to manufacture, so if I can get that settled in the next few days, it may still take a week or two to get them.
So, if I'm waiting for boards to be made, I have considered this option: buy enough parts for my old style driver to sell up to maybe 100 for the mean time.
But, I don't really have a whole lot of time (and these take a lot of time) to make them, so I'm afraid I would be increasing the price. That price is not yet settled, but it will continue on as the price for the new driver as well.
It will not be a huge difference in the last price, but enough to cover extra costs and to pay ME a little better for my time (its valuable to me!). I'm also considering implementing a bulk discount for items, which previously has been limited because it was a manual process of refunding money or sending invoices, but I'm looking into using an actual shopping cart system, but I'm trying to get a (free) domain set up for it.
Anyway, I appeciate everyone's patience and I know many of you have been desperate for some drivers, but I hope to solve that problem soon
I'll post again when I have more news.
