+date: 2023-03-29
+draft: false

+category: article

+
+# :warning: :construction: **This page is WIP, but actively updated while I wait for things to ship!** :construction: :warning:
+
+# Goal
+
+To build a Full body set of trackers:
+
+* 7 trackers
+* 3 extensions
+
+
+# Parts List & Prices
+
+**NOTE:** *Some extra components were purchased in case of defects*
+
+## Main parts from AliExpress:
+
+* `10` D1 Mini for `20.53$`
+* `13` BMI 160 for `18.99$`
+* `10` 18650 Battery chargers for `6.81$`
+    * Keep in mind that this will also work for regular LIPO batteries
+* *See battery section for explanation*
+
+## Small parts from AliExpress:
+
+* 10 pack of DPDT 2P2T Panel Mount Switches for `2.99$`
+* 100 pack of 30K ohms for `4.05$`
+* 5 pack of 4Pin JST connections for `4.93$`
+* 50 pack of diodes for `2.53$`
+
+## Batteries
+
+For reference I bought:
+
+* `1` ( 10 piece ) EHAO 804040 3.7V 18mAh for `32.77$`
+
+While these do work the shipping time is pretty awful compared to everything else.
+To deal with this problem you can swap those out for some Amazon basics 18650's
+and cases instead which cuts the shipping time way down:
+
+* 12 pack of 18650 `21.85$`
+* 10 pack of battery clips `7.99$`
+
+* Total with taxes: `32.15$`
+
+Total for these is  without shipping or taxes.
+Personally I would bet on buying batteries elsewhere ( if you're in the U.S./Canada )
+since the cost is usually comparable.
+
+## Total Cost With Shipping and Taxes
+
+If you buy the 804040 batteries: `93.60$`
+
+With the 18650's from amazon: `92.98$`
