As the project has changed greatly since the original plan, so has the budget. The original figures revolved around using different sensors, and different lights. I have decided to recalculate the figures, and refresh the original budget.
Tag strips:£0.94 x 3 = £2.82
Lucar connectors:£1.29 per pack £1.29 x 2 = £2.58
PIR detectors:£14.99 each £14.99 x 5 = £74.95
Light hire: £30 each per week
Bulb: £12 each x 3 = £36
Haze machine hire: £60 per week
Haze machine fluid: £2.80
USB DMX controller: £59.99
USB interface (PIR controller): £34.99
USB Hub: £6.99
Wooden structure: £85.00
Wiring: £8 per roll £8 x 2 = £16
Bell Wire: £7.00 100m
Soldering iron: £7.99
Cable ties: £0.40 & £1.40 (two different sizes)
Book on Robotics: £17.99
Power tip for power adapter: £0.80
Power socket for PIR power: £0.80
Servo motor: £7.99
Servo controller: £51.14 including postage
Total: £567.63
Although this may seem expensive I am confident that everything that I have used was necessary and has played a vital role within the project. Although the costs of the servo motor and controller could have been avoided, this was something that I was not aware of at the time. I am also hoping that I will be able to sell these components on for a slightly reduced price.
