Derek :

Haha thanks, I don’t think it’d be that complicated if someone made it themselves, it’s well enough developed that you could probably find some chips that are specifically designed for this kind of stuff and might be relatively cheap. Often the circuits given in the application notes are enough to get you 90% of the way there. If it didn’t already have a couple dozen random projects in the queue that I’d like to do, I’d look at it more closely. Just thought I’d throw the idea out.

deejay :

ifi were going to try to do this myself, i’d try to get samples from a company – when most people buy them by the millions, getting them to send you a couple dozen as a “sample” might not be that hard 🙂

but if i were a company that was to make these things and sell them, then I’d order a few thousand of em or something, I bet you could buy a small enough volume that it wouldn’t be too much for a small company.
