Hardware is really hard. My first VC backed startup in 2017 was a BCI or « brain computer interface » as a music headset - paired with an app that let you gave music recommendations to put you in a « the zone » I lived in Shenzen china for few months trying to get a prototype of the ground - lost all the money on R&D even if using all the latest 3D printing techniques and being upstream in the supply chain - coupled with customer acquisition costs for crowdfunding etc it was dead in the waters. In software you get dozen shots on goal and need 10 years to build really good products. In hardware you might get 3 shots and need over 20 years. Excited to see more people try though !

Did you ever publish your designs? I might be misremembering, but IIRC OpenBCI has a pretty strong community of people tinkering with stuff like that, and lots of cool projects have come out of that work. I'd love to hear your take on that sort of thing.
