Hello All,
I am a newbie to the field and I am kind off intrigued on how people
manfucture small electronic devices. That is, say, I have an idea: to
make a "calculator" kind of device that can take the amount of time you
run as an input and gives the calories burnt as output.
How would I manufacture such a device ? Do I write a computer program,
give it to some manufacturer (say, in China) or should I sit and
design the hardware blocks ??
You design a circuit board and send documentation to a PCB fab
(foreign or domestic). Programs to develop the necessary
documentation are available for fairly reasonable prices (maybe even
some shareware). You then need to either stuff and solder the board
yourself or find someone to do it. The toughest part may be designing
and building the packaging for a device such as you describe. I
modify standard enclosures on a milling machine for low volume
products. Plastic molds are very expensive and need large volumes to
amortize.
