Just a hypothetical question, but imagine if you had a great electronics and hardware workshop with some awesome equipment like;
* a CNC machine, small but very accurate say 12"x12" area can cut wood, plastics and even aluminium.
* small manual metalwork lathe and milling machines, drills saws etc.
* a PNP machine, fast and reliable say 1000 parts/hour and accurate to place fiddly stuff down to 0603 and SSOP, QFN.
* reflow oven, solder paste stenciling setup etc all needed for the auto SMD work.
* good test equipment, scopes and all the usual goodies.
* good microcontroller development systems, hardware, compilers.
* obviously you have lots of skill so you can easily use all this dream equipment!
What would you make? And have I left out anything, any other awesone equipment you would like or need? Or would you have a different dream workshop?
Would you try to make commercial products at home or use the workshop to make prototypes and then send out for commercial production?
The moderators may want to move this to Members Lounge as it's a hypthetical discussion but it is specific to electronics so i thought it might be ok to post it here.
