If you didn’t back up our Kickstarter, you’ll soon have the opportunity to buy the Electron and it’s kits from our store! On March 15th, we will be offering the Electron Kit, Asset Tracker Kit, Solar Kit, and Sensor Kit on store.particle.io . Electron Kit - 2G at $49 and 3G at $69 Electron board P…

Will the Electron board ever be offered by itself and the SIM, Antenna and Battery each as extra accessories? This type of configuration would be great for developers who want to sell a product with the Electron onboard and do not have a need for the breadboard and components.

+1 for a board(and antenna) package only, the electron is useful in areas without wifi but with permanent power, so battery is not always needed.

@MORA , in my understanding from the documentation the Electron won’t work without the battery at all. Basically it is pulling power in short bursts which the power supply cannot deliver without the battery. Some big capacitor might also solve the problem…

true it may need a better power source, but theres plenty of mobile devices/routers out there for powered applications, so should be possible for the electron too. Seems silly to install a battery in a fixed location just to satisfy a power surge, especially a lipo one.

Sure, I think the important point would be (as I understand it) not to use the built-in 3.3v source for that. You would have to provide the 3.3v from the outside directly.

The bigger question is can we buy everything a la carte based upon what we need beyond the Electron board itself?

@clarissa I got my Electron Kit with 3G but not with 3 months of data!!!, let me know if i get data still!. I would need Asset Tracker Sheild and Solar Sheild only. Can order separate?

Hey @autolib - I agree. We are definitely looking into that. We’ll be updating y’all when that time comes around.

I’m a Kickstarter backer. Can I still purchase these kits at the pre-order price?
