here, Sr. Hardware Engineer from big consumer electonics corp.
this blog is tooo basic.
for startup, they should co-work with design house instead of homemading hardware.
the big cost is the equipments, not the components.
from prototype to engineering sample, u dont need to think about components or BOM.
make it work, make it meet your req of spec, fix all the bug, p/r it, mp it.
Keep it in mind of BOM, but not from beginning, but from the engineering sample.
