What keeps you from having it open source and still sell assembled boards? I truly believe 90% of the audience would buy it pre-made from you, if the price in resonable. Ordering a pcb, all components and then soldering it is quite a barrier for "ordinary" people.

You will also be able to receive bug fixed/pull requests from other community members if you keep your project on github/openhardware.io.

Here's an example for the MySensors Micro: https://github.com/mysensors/SensebenderMicro/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed

This thread contains comments for the article "Mozilla WebThings Gateway" posted on MySensors.org.

Great work @alowhum!

@mfalkvidd, I took the liberty to move the forked discussion from "OpenHardware" to the "Hardware" category.

Yes, as long as you distribute the source code for your device.

But the Swedish tax authority wants their taxes (even for a hobby income)

Hi @kalina,

Yeah, thought about it. Would have been fun to do something like this together with the manufacturers. e.g. They offer a price of board X assembled if we reach 100/1000/10000 orders.

What stopped me was the payment fees and hassle of handling/holding peoples money during the kickstarter period. A lot could go wrong... and as a hobbyist project, I don't have the resources to make any losses when things fail (people withdrawing etc.) or handle customer support.

I've found something similar on the market though, https://www.crowdsupply.com/, maybe you could check it out.

Yes, selling boards (none commercially) is ok.

Sorry, can't find any way of setting default options this this for the Solr forum plugin.

Sure!
