Right and then there are all the other bits and bobs which go into electronic hardware like capacitors, resistors, transistors, diodes, etc., etc.
I wonder how much you could 'downgrade' and get away with it. What I mean is that for the applications we're talking about, modern consumer electronics are waaaay more powerful than the task at hand. Therefore you could do with slower, heavier and larger electronics. With that being the case, I wonder if it is possible to create the components you need using simpler techniques and materials than are used in modern consumer electronics?
Again, I don't know much about electrical manufacturing so maybe this is a stupid suggestion on the face of it. Maybe even creating the simplest of bits and bobs is just an inherently difficult process.
