It would be great if Particle would offer up the new asset tracker w/o an Electron for those of us who already have several but would like to get the updated GPS design and form-factor. I already have 3 Electrons and 2 Asset Tracker kits, I don’t really need a 4th Electron, saving $50-60 on the pri…

Hey everyone, As of right now, we don’t have the option for the asset tracker without the electron, but this has been requested quite a few times before. I’m gathering all of our requests and will inform our operations team about this with clear numbers. So if this is something that you’re interest…

@dkryder , you may want to hit the like button on the respective post then :wink: @kmmonk , I think this should not be a question of how many. People do want it. We had this discussion about all Electron kits in the past several times back at the time with @christine and @Steph and it was always sa…

Also very interested in one without the Electron. When I saw it (via the email), the first thing that came to mind is “this is perfect - I want one”. Then I saw that it came only with an Electron, and since I have one already – I closed it sadly hopping it would eventually be sold stand alone.

@ventz , same here, don’t forget the like button on Kevin’s post - makes counting easier :wink:

I’ve mentioned this many times over Twitter since the Asset Tracker has been a thing. Do it! :slight_smile:

Like button hit above, so yes V2 version of the shield to replace my V1. I also have a feature request, for the V3 version of the Asset Tracker could you add a voltage regulator? Normal charging voltage in a 12V automotive system is 13.7 to 14.7 Volts. On my V1 board I used the Proto area to add a …

This post might be of interest: [image] Regulator Circuitry Dying Troubleshooting That’s an interesting behaviour. You are correct, the PMIC is rated at 17V max. We have tested the Electron to operate at 17V as well. Due to the size constraints of the PCB, there isn’t eno…

These might be of interest in the short term. They’re switching buck converters, so they’re much more efficient than a linear regulator. And they’re small, so they can go just about anywhere. I’ve used these in the past by setting the output voltage, shrinking heat tubing around them, then fillin…

I like that idea, I will give it a shot.

@naikrovek hi, i use those eboost bucks and they work well. however, when you talk about sealing them up that kinda goes against my trust level of these things. particularly in situations where vibrations might affect the settings of dial on the pot. i’m not saying they would move just that they …

Done. (assuming you mean on this post - @ems ’)
