Over the years there has been an increase in the request for kits, so I’m going to slowly start packaging kits for some of our products. There are a lot of additional problems that come from offering kits, so this will be a slow process.
The good part is that prices for most kits will be lower than the current prices for assembled boards. The bad part is that assembled board prices are going up in order to allow a profit on the kits and still create enough of a price difference so the kits and assembled boards aren’t too close in pricing.
There are also new concerns, such as whether the buyer can read schematics, can they solder well, do they know which end of the IC is pin 1, how do I help debug a board that doesn’t work, etc. This is a one-man company, so adding kits might take more time than doing assembly here where I can thoroughly test each board before packaging it.
As kits are added, I’ll post notices here.
