Yes, at the moment im building two boards. Second one is more like backup ;]
Just waiting my second driver board

Etched PCB (without mask) cost was - 18$
(it was 1 board order, so...) ;] to order more will be much cheaper, but i think we need with green mask etc. more quality on board.

Components cost was - 30$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUM: 48$

Make more, make cheaper ;]

Yes, and im waiting my Arduino's to come.
They are slower response i think, then thanos amc. Lets wait and see what differences.
Maybe others have more feedback about this built.

And yes, we can make kits, just now we need to decided which build.

At the moment i got arduino nano v3 with LCD unit for dashboard. (thanos project or france guys prjt).

Can you try the different firmwares are loadable to the nano V3?
The datasheet say they are 100% arduino UNO compatible.
Would like to add them to the list because:
Arduino uno: 17 Euro
Arduino nano: 11 Euro
If a answer is correct or did help you for a solution, please use the solve button.

Yes,
With arduino uno comunication between pc via usb is much smoother then with nano.

ON aliexpress UNO is really cheap >>>

This board will still work but for a couple of extra i would buy the r3 for peace of mind.


Really?????
Omg... lets what i have... :(
