ok..here is the 'stack' (so to speak)
Im 'close' to nailing down the post placement.. so I can either adjust the SD card.. 'or' come to realize we might to need trim the post 'holes' a bit (on the bottom piece..when cutting the square hole out to fit the SD card) upon install too..
looking at the height requirements/restrictions....if we keep the thick bingo chip.. we might need to opt for the thinnest pcb they make (0.4mm).. which is an extra $25.00.. so like an extra $2.50 per 'kit' right there)..blank pcbs are already going t be like $2.00 each without shipping.. I just want to be open about the 'COSTS' (no mark-up).. so everyone can make the best decision for themselves..etc..
I think the CHIP itself it the most expensive SINGLE item on the board.. with the uSD sockets being second..(its close to the cost of a bare PCB)
thanks for helping finalize this stuff ES..
I'll even 'assemble' your kit for you!..if we ever get this bad boy done! lol (unless you have a stencil and solder paste, re-flow oven..etc) and wanna do it yourself?)
edit:
heck.. I just ordered a set (1 side for).. was hoping it would be easier.. and work on the electronics side BEFORE ordering.. in case I needed a model mod..etc.. but it'll be easier to work on this once I have one in hand.. can print things out.. test on paper.. ensure alignment..etc..etc..
Arduino w/o Audio is 100% possible..
Ardiuno w/ Audio 'might' still be possibly once we get some final measurements.. and brainstorm on speaker/battery stuff still.. (and see how much room we got 'under the hood' of the floor/base piece that the led/chip bezel snaps into..)
