Quite neat result and presentation! Can you estimate what did your research and final product cost turn out to be?



Final product, i.e only the parts and components were $400.

The cost of all the tools and software I did not track but I would guess I invested somewhere around $1K which includes software licenses, shipping, new tools etc.

But I find tracking the cost of research a bit impractical as it doesn't include indirect costs like billable hours that I technically could have spent on clients etc.
