Hello everyone,

Exciting news, I'm just about finished pulling everything together for the first test run of 50-100 GadgetBoxes for the Arduino Mini Pro (clone) modules. One of the biggest problems was getting the price right and by using existing modules I think I have finally found the right approach. The pricing will be very affordable (it's not much more then you would pay for just an enclosure!):

• $11 for the GadgetBox enclosure, motherboard, battery charging, and supporting hardware. This is not soldered so you can decide how to configure it. Maybe you don't want to use eCogs but instead want to solder your own components directly to the motherboard. You bring your own Arduino Mini Pro module
• $15 for the GadgetBox enclosure, motherboard, battery charging, and supporting hardware - with this option the motherboard is already soldered. You bring your own Arduino Mini Pro module
• $16 for the GadgetBox enclosure, motherboard, battery charging, Mini Pro Module (clone) and supporting hardware - Not soldered.
• $20 for the GadgetBox enclosure, motherboard, battery charging, Mini Pro Module (clone) and supporting hardware - Motherboard soldered.

I just received the first 100 enclosures with the cutouts and silkscreen for the Arduino Gadgetbox. Here's a look at them in the box:

I've also got about half of the components needed for a first test run of 50-100 Arduino Mini Pro (clone) GadgetBoxes. Just waiting for the Arduino Mini clones now, here is what it looks like without them:

I'm also finishing up the hardware guide which I hope to have done today or tomorrow and will post about here.
