We are building a dashboard composed by:
- display lcd;
- display 7 segments;
- microcontroller and relative hardware.
In the material table there is a Dashboard student-built at 20$ (control module) instead in electronics there are lcd and 7 segments displays but there aren't microcontroller, passive components, PCB, etc...
Should we use the first solution or the second one?
We have the same problem with automatic gear shift and variabile geometry aspiration.

Best Regards.

You should cost everything down to the component, even including the student-made dashboard - that by itself doesn't account for all of the additional electronics involved.

Electronics such as microcontrollers, passive components are included in the "Chassis Control Module", and the LEDs,7 segs and screen should be costed as shown.
