Re: Small proto boxes with LCD and buttons?

Hello Spehro,

Cheap and low volume are not a good combination. The enclosure makers
will eat the profits, and you won't likely get a great fit (meaning
lots of work, and more likely quality issues).

That's why I believe the only way may be to convince a company with a very similar product but in another market to run this one "on the side", like a shuttle.

I've noticed that European suppliers are pretty good in this area
(OKW, for example), probably because there are so many smallish
electronics companies in Europe.

OKW is more high end. For example their Datec Control-S is about $20. Just the plastic shells without the optional battery holder. Ouch. It would be cheaper to buy toy games at Walmart and have someone scrape the innards out.

Regards, Joerg
