What is it?

Prototyping PCB for the Electron from Particle.io. It allows you to create a more permanent and reliable prototypes than breadboard and to securely mount the prototype in a case. The Electron to be powered by external DC source rather than through the USB port and provides for easy off-board connections.

Basic kit contains.

1x PCB.
2x 18 Way headers to mount the Electron so you can remove it easily if needed.

Optional Extras:

Component kit (DC connectors, "7805" style buck converter, reverse LED and resistor.)
3D Printed foot to hold the PCB, battery and aerial.
3D Printed foot suitable for use with the Particle Asset tracker and to hold the PCB, battery and aerial.

Why did you make it?

Breadboard prototypes are very fragile, it's all to easy for a wire to come out and then difficult to figure out where to put it back. This PCB allows the wiring to be soldered on along with the components for a more reliable circuit.

To make a more permanent usable project it needs to be mounted in a case, breadboard is far from ideal and the other option is a dedicated PCB which becomes expensive.

What makes it special?

Suitable for the Electron, Photon or Core from Particle.
Large breakout area on the lower half.
Electron pins connected to breakout pads either side of the device.
Double 1206 pads for D0-D7 and C0-C5 top side for resistor + led combination, useful for diagnostics indications on those pins.
External connector holes either side of lower half with double connected holes to allow for easy PCB connection to the connector.
1206 pads linking external connector pads to internal breakout nearest pad to allow for easy link with resistor.
3v3 and GND available down the middle of the breakout area and across the top.
4x SOIC08 8 pin SMD pads with connected holes.
Reverse mount LED and resistor pads for 3v3 power light.
Pads for external power input via DC jack barrel (2.1/2.5mm) or 2 Pin 5mm terminal block and layout for "7805" style buck regulator.
4x 1206 pads for I2C pullups on D0/D1 and C4/C5 pins.
Compatible with Particle Asset shield. Add pin headers to outer holes on the PCB and plug on top of the asset shield (See photos).
Excellent silk screening pin identifiers for the Electron.
4x mounting holes for M3 machine screws or A2 self tappers (5mm from edges).
Open Source. All the design files are available on the ThingySticks website and Github ThingySticks organisation as well as Thingiverse. That includes the Eagle files and OpenSCAD 3D designs.
Measures 100mm x 100mm

Please note that this does NOT include an Electron, aerial, battery or the Asset Tracker, these need to be purchased separately from Particle.io or a re-seller.
