# :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$`
|
