    Well, as nobody has offered up a hard quote... its hard to say.
     I realise that the engineering is the lions share of the project, and that
    requires a great deal of experience, and in ANY field, a great deal of
    experience costs money.
    Its not so much the effort that has made me assume that this is "outta my
    league", its the thought that it would probably require a pic , or other
    type of programmable chip, that I am simply not set up to deal with, and
    have absolutely no experience with, either in construction, or especially in
    programming.
    I only need 1 unit, with another programmed controller, and display as a
    backup, if somehow I manage to kill the first during my ham fisted
    construction (assuming that I would construct it). Time is not a factor, as
    I do not require this immediately.
    Obviously, a very high price quote will kill off this project in a hurry,
    which is why I've tried to stress the "off the shelf" parts, and the lack of
    time constraints would help bring down the costs, if even only slightly.
    All I can say is "here are the specs"...I wont be making ANY money on this,
    now its up to the individuals out there to tell me what they will charge,
    and if they think a project of this type would interest them personally.
    Thanks
    Kim
