Share your ideas, tell us what you think of other people’s ideas and join the discussion.
Idea Guidelines:
1 – Idea needs to be something we can do. This means, although we appreciate general feedback (for example, “this is good!” or “this hurts!”), here we are looking for ideas we can work on.
2 – Specific. The more details you can provide, the better. Heck—you can attach files to ideas or a reference link to show us what you want!

Put the Eagle DRU files back onthe specifications page.
Seeed used to provide Eagle design rules files (DRU) for 2 and 4-layer boards. They seem to have been removed...

To make the gerber viewer available for past orders
When viewing the order history it is possible to reorder past orders. It would help a lot if it was possible to view PCB's in these orders - it would at least increase the likely hood that one actually does reorder something.

translation service
Shakespeare Language Service is very professional. Projects were delivered on time and accurately translated, unlike another agency I used before. Fast turnaround. Would highly recommend their service to others! Their Website: https://www.shakespeare-translation.com/

Bitcoin payments
bitcoin is easier and cheaper than shitty credit cards. Adafruit.com and many chinese PCB manufactureres already accept it.

Fusion PCB pricing
PCB should be priced by the total sq cm used & not by fixed length & width measurements. This would stop crazy price jumps. Build a board that is 5.54cm & you have to move up to 10cm size board pricing. This crazy & shouldn't be happening. Please price your boards fairer for the total area of the boards used & not for the area not used.

stop overcharging for shipping Fusion PCBs
Please charge customers for the correct shipping weight instead of the maximum for PCBs of any given size. Most companies do this.
For an example, Arduino (shield)-sized boards are only one third the size of the 10cm x 10cm board category that must be used to buy them, but they are only ONE THIRD of the size and weight. We have to pay (express) shipping for TRIPLE the weight of the actual order and this can be substantially more expensive.
Please use the actual board size to compute the proper weight. Many other lower-cost PCB prototyping services do this, and…

Fusion PCB Specification -- Provide separation dimensions between layers.
For computing strip-line impedance it is important to know the distance between conducting layers and the dielectric constant of the insulator material. If averages are provided please also provide variance

International shipping cheaper
Hello friends am a teacher and want to buy "LinkIt 7688 Smart Duo" to teach my students, the problem is that sending to my country (Chile) is very expensive.
So I wanted to know if you have some method of cheaper international shipping.
Because in my country teachers earn little money
Other stores sent by regular mail and is slower but cheaper
Thank you very much.15 votesDear friends,
Pls kindly choose the registered air parcel as the delivery option. It is the regular mail shipping, delivery time is 15-30 business days.
Registered air parcel shipping is available in South America.
Thanks. -

Control placement of manufacturing number
AFAIU, all orders placed through the standard PCB service get a "manufacturing number" added on the silkscreen to facilitate production. Currently, seeed places these numbers (which I assume is a manual action?).
It would be good if you could control the placement of this number, to better integrate it with the PCB design and make the result more pleasing to look at. For Seeed, this might remove a manual action from the process, saving time and cost.
I could imagine that this placement is done by a specially sized box on the silkscreen, or better a completely separate layer ("comments"…

Arduino Dial Up Modem shield
Dial Up modem's days are long gone but Land line still exists either in the form of home pbx or PSTN, An Arduino based Dial Up modem shield can be used for a lot of fun projects.
Modem chips are already available with AT Command support
Currently there is no shield to interface arduino with phone line
This shield can also become a base for Arduino corded telephony with additional sheilds for setting up arduino based Home PABX e.g 4 port intercom shield or Voip shield12 votesThat’s a gooood idea, we’re going to start it from forum.

Ability to Cancel or Change an Order at any Stage in the Process
Ability to cancel or change an order at any stage in the process.
-Customer should receive no refund for the completed work
-Customers should be able to receive a store credit for work that is not complete yet.
-i.e. If customer pays for PCB + PCBA and cancels between PCB and PCBA, customer pays for PCB but not PCBA. Customer can make changes and then pay for a new order.11 votes
