That's hard to tell at this point. I'm going to try a very rough price.
The IronDuino will cost about:
The IC price is about 3 dollars.
The PCB price is in function of the size.
Connectors will come for about 4 dollars.
The othere electronic components on the IronDuino will come about 2-3 dollars.
The 4 switches would cost about .50 dollars.
Lets say it cost about 20 dollars, with much range in price.
The side components, bend sensors, servo, repulsor pcb... are a bit up to you. I'm going to provide a pcb for the repulsor. But I don't know when. Lets say all the electronics would cost about 100 dollars. You can make it as expensive as you want.

I wanted to know the price of the electronic components I have a very vague idea about the price of the rest of the costume thanks 
And 100 dollars is around 75 euros if I'm not mistaken... And that's acceptable xD
Anyhow if I'll have any other electronic based question I'll direct it to you =P

WarMachine Electronics
WarDuino
The WarDuino is a µC (micro controller) dedicated to Warmachine only. It will be released somewhere in may 2012. I started this now because the IronDuino is working.
Lets focus on the cool looking stuff for; lights, sounds, servo's... I'm not a mechanical engineer. Don't PM me to ask how to make the gun attachments or something similar.
If I say Warmachine you will immediately think about the Arc Reactor, the mini-gun, missile launchers, rifles attached to the forearm, repulsors, glowing Eyes, opening faceplate. These are the basic thing I will cover up atm.
I don't like bike lights to act as reactor or the 'static' light of a repulsor. There for we will make it dynamic.
Warmachine is mechanical more advanced then Iron Man. It contains more motors, more servo's,...

It has been awhile since this thread was updated. Now, everyone finished their costume then I've to come QUICK with the electronics .
I'm currently assembling a kit, very easy to solder, DIY, cheap!.
This kit will contain:
Arduino chip + external components for it;
2 Bend sensors;
Leds for under the boot, containing the leds, resistors, perfboard;
Switches for underneath the boots;
Leds for repulsor, containing the leds, resistors, perfboard;
Eye lights;
Small servo for helmet;
I can't tell you a price atm. I'm trying to make a basic kit, instructions to make, but my main goal is to make it easy upgradable. That's one of the reasons why I choose perfboard.
I'll keep you updated.

nice thread.
OK, I know NOTHING about how to add electronics to a costume...but I have a real desire to learn. I want to make articulated wings that can expand and retract from an ipod. Saw something similar at DC this past year. Is this so far advanced a novice has no chance in hell how to make it happen?
