The subject of the cost of the ELS system came up before I joined and
was indicated at $400 - $800.
Just for interest my feeling is that the cost in the UK is more like
?150 - ?200.
This is based on making everything that you can make and buying the rest
of the items at the best price.
Typically the Mega 2560 can be bought at ?35 in the UK but if you are
prepared to wait it is ?7 from China.
The same goes for the Joystick, Buttons, display, encoder.
Drives and motors are sometimes better purchased locally. Enclosures can
be made.

Hi, Richard,

You have actually completed yours so your figures are likely to be more accurate that mine.? Your prices in pounds Sterling would be around US $180-$240, which is appreciably less than my estimate.? I did have to buy a number of aluminum plates for motor mounts and the such that I did not have, which increased my cost a bit.

Thanks for providing additional clarification on the costing!
