Hey there, I'm designing a motion control board that takes input from two encoders and provides feedback with a gyroscope. It's going on a wheelchair. Just trying to get an idea of expense, here... if you have a moment, please get back to me!

How much have you paid for motion control systems in the past?
[ ] Under $500 [ ] $500 - $5,000
[ ] Over $5,000 [ ] N/A

Would you be interested in this sort of thing if we could make it for under $300?
[ ] It's probably too cheap to do what we need.
[ ] It sounds like a good balance between cost and performance.
[ ] It sounds like a lot of money for a dinky micro-controller package.
[ ] Cost is not a concern / Don't care. If it works, I'll buy


Overall, you feel the market currently has:
[ ] Many motion control packages available, but none do what I want.
[ ] Many motion control packages available, I usually can find what I need.
[ ] Not enough available, but this looks useful.
[ ] Not enough available – this doesn't look like it's going to be useful to me.
