== Building a bill of materials (BOM) ==
Your project BOM will include all components necessary to build your <u>final</u> product. You won't be able to do this properly without a good detailed design so that you don't miss any parts. Based on that list you will be able to tally your total product cost.
=== Bill of materials ===
The most efficient way of compiling your BOM is in a tabular format. Here are the columns that should be included with a few examples of items:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Item name
!Description
!Units of measure
!Quantity
|-
|
|
|
|
|-
|
|
|

|}
=== List of equipment ===
You may have other items that are necessary to test your different prototypes however. For example you may need a breadboard to test a prototype but that will not be included in the final product, the breadboard would then be included in your list of equipment but not your bill of materials.
#Don't forget to add links to each item
