Pledge: Nanodes
This a a pledge for the bulk purchase of PCBs and some core components for pledgers to construct the Arduino compatible Nanode boards.
With a group purchase we can get both PCBs and components at a great price. Furthermore, we avoid burdening Ken with the initial cost of PCB production and then having to recoup it retrospectively.
Core components
The following items are included in the 'core components':
- ENC28J60
- ATmega328
- Magjack
- Reset switch
- Some of the connectors (we should define this)
Pledge operation
This pledge will operate differently than others. Pledge amounts are fixed at £10 per Nanode. Each pledger will receive a PCB and the core components required for one Nanode for each £10 that they pledge. We'll stop the pledge and commence ordering when we reached a volume that enables us to purchase each unit for £10 or less.
