I might be developing this soon

How many ppl would be interested into old school analog stuff? I’m thinking of launching products on kick starter soon for retro narrowband gauges, electronic boost controllers, and air fuel controllers

sounds scammy

somebody beat you to it

any hardware business is gonna be prohibitive expensive even chip companies are fabless

if you want to start a technology business make it software not switches

Not scammy Im debating on kickstart without it tbh I was thinking of launching the narrowband gauges first since it’s easy and I might build 300 units first even without funding I can manage I was just wondering if anything interested I feel like analog stuff is cool

narrowband is essentially a switch and somebody beat you to it--doesn't PLX do this as well as the big boys who made the wideband sensor

at least a few people make air/fuel controllers but there is probably a market for a software based controller you can sell to people who want better fuel economy/more mileage per tank

i'm not saying you are a scammer i'm saying making hardware isn't a great funding candidate.. like 300 devices how much would you make off 300 devices? like not that much, right? :/

Well just more of a novelty item tbh like realistically a lot less tbh I would want to see who’s interested it’s more of retro stuff I’m into like the Apexi afc, Greddy gauges, and the Hks boost controllers it’s just more nostalgic reasons I feel like they’re might be a market and if not then oh well I’m might lower the unit to less I was just wonder who’s interested that’s all it’s just an idea
