Setup cost is just one part... I would estimate approx. $130 (if they're matching other China PCB manufacs out there).soldering fee (for total TH pad, or SMD part)
Package material fee
Initial/Setup fee
Programming Fee.If you want them to buy the parts (i.e. you're not shipping them your own parts), there's
Parts Cost
10% Purchase & Exhaust cost (of your total Parts Cost)
- shipping back to you.
When you say programming fee, do you mean programming microcontrollers / PLDs or some other type of programming? The reason I ask is my thinking is not to have them program it at all because that requires you to deliver the unencrypted object code to them which creates risks for you. Have appropriate headers as part of the design and do the programming yourself and lock it down. Or am I missing something?
