seeking help for WELS One Africa venture

[Kuster, Thomas]

I'm looking for someone to take on a project for the WELS One Africa mission field.

It seems they are finding increasing uses for micro-SD memory chips in their schools and outreach programs, and would like to find a system for duplicating chips - "mass producing" multiple copies from a single "master" chip. Commercial devices for doing this cost thousands of dollars, well beyond available budgets. We are aware of some do-it-yourself chip duplicating set-ups that can be built much more cheaply but they are beyond our technical capabilities – hence this note to you.

For example, we found these suggestions online:

DIY SD-card duplicator

This site looks like the same thing

https://www.open-electronics.org/diy-an-affordable-sd-card-duplicator/

What we are seeking is someone who is willing to do the following:

1. Vet these systems to see if any of them are actually likely to work – or find (invent?) another approach that does.

2. Assemble it (we will reimburse you for parts) with necessary hardware and software, so it works.

3. Be a mentor to the person managing the micro-SD services for the One Africa Team so she can use the resulting device.

Anyone interested? Contact me and I can put you in touch with the appropriate persons.

Thanks for considering this!
