: I'm definately going to go the ikari type rotary rather than the optical now. Do you have any idea what the price of one will be?
I have to figure out the cost of the blank circuit boards based on repeat business with the supplier, it gets cheaper after I re-order beyond my prototypes but I don't know how much. Up to now a kit of parts without the board cost around $34, and the new boards cost about $20 each at prototype, which will get somewhat cheaper. The labor cost for the assembled units I'll have to figure out when I build another one and see how much is really involved. I build my first one at random times and ran out of parts so I have no idea how long it really takes etc.
