I'm not in the tech community, but I have an idea for a device I want to get made (just for my own convenience; nothing commercial or for an organization). Is there an existing platform for soliciting someone to build an electronic gadget for me?

    It really depends how complex the gadget is. Each step will be at least an order of magnitude more expensive than the last.

    • Something that already exists that you can buy off the shelf
    • An off the shelf device setup with off the shelf software
    • A custom device made using easily obtainable parts
    • A fully custom piece of hardware
