price optimizations

Open pointhi opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

The current component price range is about 50-60€ per board (when buying for 10 pbc's). Not problematic for the prototype board, but we should optimize it.

This is a list of the most expensive parts of the board (based on the discounts you get when you buy for about 10 boards):

Component price per board description
AS5047D 8,19€ encoder
IPD079N06L3 5,90€ motor driver mosfets
ATSAMD21G18A 4,78€ controller
A4955GLPTR 2,84€ motor controller
RB162MM-60CT 2,11€ schottky diodes
744773122 1,96€ inductor for step down
10UF POLY ELCO 1,83€ elco for step down (very low esr)
TERM BLOCK 4POS 1,67€ step down connector
MCP16331T 1,26€ step down regulator

those few (main) components sum up to about 30,54€ per board.

Can this software run on 328p, stm32f103, or other lower cost, more available processors?
