Seeed OPL v1.2 Now Includes Particle P0\/P1"},"content":{"rendered":"

We are excited to announce the strategic partnership between Seeed and Particle, an IOT device platform that brought you the popular P0<\/a> and P1<\/a> Wi-Fi modules. We have teamed up with Particle because we listened to your feedback and heard your request for lower cost prototyping services for Particle-based products. We strongly believe that updating our Seeed OPL (Open Parts Library) to include Particle modules will benefit the maker community, as well as, the IOT industry.<\/p>\n

The Seeed OPL<\/a> (Open Parts Library) is our in-stock catalogue of popular components for PCB Assembly<\/a> that markedly speeds up the lead-time for PCBA orders and reduces the overall cost simultaneously. In the past, our service lead time took from 25 to 30 days to deliver Particle based boards because we had to source the powerful connectivity modules from the US. Sometimes due to the long lead time, companies chose to fabricate and assemble their prototypes locally, which led to prohibitively higher costs. In response to your feedback, we have decided to remedy the situation so you won\u2019t have to seek a compromise between lead time and costs.<\/p>\n

Now that Seeed Fusion has integrated Particle\u2019s powerful P0 and P1 Wi-Fi modules into our OPL, you can have your boards fabricated and fully assembled within 5-7 days, pay only a $25 set up fee, and receive free express shipping to anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Seeed Fusion Service<\/a> offers one-stop prototyping for PCBs (Printed Circuit Board), PCBA (PCB Assembly) and other customized electronic and mechanical services including CNC milling<\/a>, 3D printing<\/a> and PCB layout services<\/a>. Seeed Fusion promises mature PCB manufacturing and fabrication with low costs, fast production and 100% quality guaranteed.<\/p>\n

After verifying your prototype, you can contact Seeed for mass production arrangements. With support from both Particle and Seeed, you can be sure that the process will be smooth and efficient. We have devoted ourselves to helping makers and businesses succeed in their projects and goals, and will continue to provide products and services tailored to you.<\/p>\n

This is just the first step in a productive and fruitful cooperation between Seeed and Particle, and there will be many new and exciting updates to come. If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding Seeed Fusion service, we invite you to contact us at fusion@seeed.cc.<\/p>\n

We are always trying to improve the service we deliver to our customers:<\/p>\n
