This is the only part I can think of that might do ALL you NEED to do to make this what you WANT it to be.
Perhaps mouser.com or digikey.com or future.com
Would do an INTL shipment for you ??
You may have to be as creative with SOURCING as you are with IDEAS to make it happen. |

shipping costst from 60$ to 80-120€ is too much expensive for me for only shipping and waiting 2 weeks for delivery, has some 16f procesors same functions? i think in smd version in final pcb will be 16pin chip ok
for example 3x more expensive but in stock here 16f88?

First. Don't just think SMD ! An 18 pin PIC doesn't take up that much board space and allows you to go from 'breadboard prototype' to 'final product' easily making your own PCBs.Since your quantity is low(10-12 pcs) I'm asuming you're making them yourself. If not, I'd buy a readymade solution as PCB mfg is not cheap.
Second. There are lots of 16F devices with more memory,UART and other features you should look at.Think of future projects and a 'one chip' does all idea.While many people still use the 16F877, the 887 is 1/2 the price with more features ! You can easily get one of them into a standard light switch(2" x 4") with room to spare,I've done that decades ago.
Third. I find that the Digikey online search is much faster than the Microchip one for selecting PICS.Not as complete or complicated as uChips but a great starting point,and you get stock/pricing information too. |

I don't know for Slovakia, but in Europe many of the standard mains modules are about 5cm x 5cm (2"x 2"). These modules can be connected to form larger modules but internal walls still define a 5x5cm maximum.

That's expensive and slow, but where did you get these quotes? When I look at mouser.com it is €40 with delivery in 1-3 days for Slovakia.
Microchipdirect.com delivers to Slovakia for €13.68 in 3-5 business days.
And I'm sure when you ask at a national electronics forum that you will be able to find cheaper local resources as well. |
