Will the CPU board be available as a separate option?

[ProsjektX]

I guess the title says it all...

[www.wandboard.org]

The wandboards will be shipped as Module + I/O baseboard to enable people to design software/application and custom I/O boards or add-on boards.

There is however no limitation on how many Wandboards you can buy if you want to develop your own solution and of course it's easy for someone to remove the lowcost I/O baseboard and assemble the Wandboard SoM module on a custom I/O baseboard.

We will create after launching the Wandboard a section on the wandboard.org homepage where people can showcase their custom I/O baseboards and add-on's for the wandboard.

At that time separate Wandboard CPU modules make sense since we all want to conserve the environment.

great. we will turn it into a musicians tool

sure, and we also want to offer the tool at a low price and since the baseboard has a cost, the module alone eventually will become a little cheaper, right?

or do you deliver with a bag of parts to populate our base board? :-)

or would you build the base board according to our layout?

Matthias,

We will be more than happy to post the board on the 3rd party product page once ready. We received a number of similar requests by email and the procedures are simple.

Get the expansion board or baseboard designed. Make the board available for others to either purchase (or manufacture) and provide enough information about the working product to interested people (for example a youtube video).

For the components you need for a baseboard. These are all general available components and a baseboard or add on board should be a very simple 4 layer (or maybe even a 2 layer) PCB that can be created easily by electric engineer students. (EE)

[Matthias Grob]

a main question here was: how much will this hardware cost for our music tool?

since you suggest that the manufacturing of the base board is done by me with my components, 

the question to you turns into: 

how much do you think the module will cost without the base board?

thank you 

Matthias

That would be great! I'm seriously looking at designing it into a product - but I hate the thought of dumping a lot of new base boards for recycling. (And the "one price" policy annoys me a bit as a bulk buyer - but that's another story ;-)

talk to a distributor. They can help you.

Thanks, that's good to hear!

I'll proceed a bit further down that road then :-D

I really tried, but it seems for them is a way to promote the standard, so they are not interested in quantity

I ended up using this one: http://www.shiratech.com/index.php/products/59.html

Volume purchases of the wandboard SOM or Technexion EDM are available through distributors. They come in multiples of 10 and are approx $10 less than the complete wandboard.

For people that are thinking they aren't getting a 'volume' discount when they want to buy 100 or so SOM boards, You should be aware that wandboard is already giving you approximately a 10k resale price even when you are buying only one. Don't expect much if any discount until you stay getting closer to that volume.

​Good to hear!​

​My survey confirms that - the 1pcs price for wandboard (including baseboard) is definitely competitive with compet​ing 100pcs pricing... :-D
I guess it's just not common in the electronics industry to not get any volume discount... ;-)
