@donkulator nah, we just let Michael J Fox hold the wires.

@galena where? because lightbulbs are way cheaper than ardiunos where I live…
-
@kiki Well if you dont get one directly from Arduino. Aliexpress has them for like ~2$. The cheapest incandescent bulb I could find on galaxus.ch (Swiss Amazon) is 2.50$.
If we are looking at a genuine arduino we are looking at ~20$. At this point the bulb wins. Even a LED bulb is cheaper, maybe even one with smart bs. Add a thermal switch from distrelec into the mix. You are looking at 5$ for that. Which is still better than a genuine Arduino. Now this is just considering cost. Add flexibility into the blinking or reliability. Then its a different game.
And yes! I work alot with BOM's for electronics. -
@galena a lightbulb is $0.25 where I live
-
@kiki 😳😳😳 That explains alot...
-
@kiki Wow that’s cheap.
They’re about $2.50 here, too.
