Build18 - Bill of Materials
12-26-09
This is going to be a short post, but I thought it might be a good idea to update you all with the Bill of Materials I sent off to the admins of Build18. (Note: There will be some part exchanges as we’re trying to get as much stuff as possible from Sparkfun, one of the Build18 sponsors)

This isn’t the final B.O.M, but it gives you a pretty good idea of what I’m doing. The original lasers I purchased are no longer sold on Amazon, but this one looks like the ones I got (although I can’t vouch for the actual laser itself). One thing to note is that my budget for this project was $250. I’m pretty sure that with less prototyping-oriented gear and a longer build period, the cost of this project could easily go under $100, possibly even cheaper depending on your source for the lasers.
I may post some additional minor updates before I get back to school and actually begin working on the project.
