With regards a completed unit I'm still undecided. The dilemma is the connections, I can build and test a unit with no connections leaving it to the buyer to solder wiring (or fit plugs) directly to the PCB, my issue with this is that someone who's happy to do this might be happy to build the unit anyway.
I did consider sockets but these add to the cost and the buyer would still need to wire up the plugs - and for most they may prefer to simply solder wires directly.
Then there's the keyboard connection, I can't populate this since it's likely there's no standard keypad being used...
Finally there's the increase in cost as I factor in my time.
All in all I'm not sure whether it's an idea with legs although I might make a couple up with the above proviso's and them up on my website.
(If anyone has any comments either way though I'd be happy to hear them.)
Cheers,
Steve.
