Advanced Hobbyist Wanted for Casual Design Work

Paul Nielsen · 2015-07-09T00:19:23+00:00

This will probably get slammed by the "pro's", but I know there are subscribers here who are not in the trade, but have sufficient ability to do design and prototyping. I sort of know who some might be already. If you are in this category and are interested in occasional paid work, please respond here with contact details. Then we can go off-list to discuss particulars. The projects may involve both analog and digital techniques as well as PIC programming. They are not complex by today's standards, or commercial in nature, so IMO paying for a professional service would be overkill. I have worked on this basis successfully before, and know enough to communicate accurately regarding design criteria, etc. I should also mention these projects relate primarily to my hobby which is geomagnetic monitoring. I simply do not have enough time to enjoy it and do designing as well. If anyone can suggest a better venue to post this notice, please let me know. Paul Nielsen

Nonsense.

Irrelevant.

All irrelevant. It's the book rate we're talking about. That's about $65/hr (maybe $75) at "normal" dealerships.

You're the master of irrelevance.

GBP 17.71 is about $27.40; not outrageous and not too much higher than what JL intimated. But..cost of exchange, shipping and taxes may drive total cost to the $75 plus region.

We bought the sensor from "fat quarters", (in the US) if you want one, drop them a line and ask.

Now that i apparently committed $25/month towards a new browser development, seems i better get some kind of work for pay. Been an electronic tech for over 50 years, so i know how to toss solder at parts. Am thinking if i bought the parts for your project, the the cost would be far lower than if you did because cost of shipping to me would add on to parts cost. I use Mouser mostly, with DigiKey at times. So,if still interested, send me an e-mail with more details. Thanks.
