"Service and Gifts" -> "Service" and "Gifts"
Please split the category of your shop's website for "Service and Gifts" into two categories "Service" and "Gifts". These categories have nothing to do with each other, and it makes getting to Fusion services a little more difficult.
I'm guessing that new people to the site and going to have trouble finding the PCB service ("Fusion") if they don't know that it's called "Fusion" and would not think to look in a "Gifts" category...
thanks

Seeed ruler
I want to make a geek ruler.This ruler should include common package, trace width, button battery, led. buzzer. Anyone who want to test components whether breakover, he just need to put it on the pad and judge the sound. Also he can use this ruler as a flashlight. Please give me some more useful ideas

Create waterproof Grove connectors
If Grove (4 pin) connectors could be waterproof, that would make it easier to use outdoors/in harsh environments.
Wouldn't have to be IP67 or IP68 compliant, just something a bit more robust that what exists.
You'd need bulkhead connectors as well, so you could put a controller/batteries in a waterproof box, and the sensors someplace else.
4 votesHi Andrew:
Thanks for your advice, we believe that waterproof function is important in harsh environments for groves. But since the sensor itself needs to be waterproof, we believe that an enclosure for the whole grove module may be better.
Please let us know your opinion. -
Sign In button jumps left when Facebook button arrives!
In my case [FireFox 33.1.1 on Win 7 64bit] the "Sign In" button jumps left when the slothful Facebook button finally appears. The timing places the Facebook button under my mouse pointer at exactly the same time as perform a mouse click -- hugely frustrating!
I suggest you move the Facebook button to a position under or above the Sign In button.

create a vacuum / pressure sensor from 30" Hg to 3 atm.
A vacuum and pressure sensor that is Arduino compatible that can measure from 30" mercury vacuum to approximately 3 atmospheres pressure. It'd be great for those of us using Arduino as engine ECUs to be able to have fine-grained control of engine parameters by knowing intake vacuum or pressure. Knowing the intake cross-sectional volume, the intake vacuum or pressure (in the case of blown engines) could also be used as an intake air flow sensor, which will really be beneficial to those of us using heated water injection to create extra cylinder pressure via steam expansion (to measure if we're getting the water too hot prior to injection, thus flashing to steam before it hits the cylinder, thereby starving the engine of air by displacing the air with steam).

We think this is a very professional area for the industrial control, would you please give us more advise about the popular sensors in this area, so we can make our products more convenient for you to use. -
Web site fix/improvements
The new user registration page is clearing the Address's State if there is an error. In my case it was the nickname. Then you get an error for that. It also forgets that you entered a captcha. You should only have to do that successfully once as you have proved you are human. There is also no indication that a Nickname needs to be unique. I would rename that Username, which is thus implied. It is also useful to use AJAX to immediately let the user know that a Username is taken, rather than waiting them to press Submit and get an error. It would also be nice if there was an indication whether the address being entered would be used for billing or shipping, although since I have not yet gone through the purchase process, it may not be an issue.

Hello Support Team,
I got a tick tock shield for my daughter, but now I realize we are missing some parts (see below), I would like to add them from german retailers, can you provide me with the specifications?
Thanks, best regards, Andreas

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.14 votes -
should a new customer enter an incorrect phone
should a new customer enter an incorrect phone number then updating the user profile does not fix the incorrect phone number that appears when the customer is asked to select the address that the parcel is to go to.
Excuse the lengthy sentence fragments.
This might cause people to re-enter the profile edit mode only to cancel an transaction that is well under way...
That transaction cancel-ation due to user editing incorect phone number in mid transaction can cause (did in my case) the session / transaction to kick the user out of the website into its home-routers/modems homepage...Theoretically: you are losing customers..
Happy bug hunting.. i did manage the purchase 4tw.

Screw Shield Board for Industrial DIN Rail Enclosures
Seeeduino and Linkit can replace and disrupt industrial PLCs industry. Your boards only need a Screw Shield with 5.08mm pitch screws and a screw shield PCB so it can fit in traditional Bud Industries industrial enclosures (those enclosures are very inexpensive).
So the screw shield should meet Arduino connector specs and also needs the PCB to be sized such way that fits perfect inside the enclosure.
Please see the PCB board currently offered by BudIndustries, which can be easily adapted to work like a screw shield for seeeduino platform.
Yes, the Seeeduino ScrewShield will be bigger but will provide space to mount the screw terminal and give access to those screws outside the DIN Rail Enclosure without giving access to seeeduino and giving more protection to electronics.

Lotus version with a Picaxe chip
The idea of combining the Grove system with an ATmega chip in the recent Lotus board is great. Working in the field of education, also using Picaxe chips along with a free flowcharting software (Logicator) we are dreaming of a same type of board with a 28x2 chip.

Tutorials for how to use your shields would be great. Especially configuring other devices that run off of them. Like an X-Bee for example

Support ODB++ file format
It would be very nice if you could handle ODB++ format also.
From my point of view, it is very easy to work with. After "I saw the light" with this format (compared to gerber), I prefer not to use gerber.5 votes -
Website Naviagtion
I really like the products that you have on your site. I like it that Radio Shack also carries them. I found your site hard to navigate and find what i am looking for easily or even just to browse like an online store. On the other hand your competitors like SparkFun Pololu are really easy to navigate. I often find my self just browsing things on there store for hours. With this site i just don't feel like it give the feel to stay and "shop". I come in like i do when I go to radio shack retail store, Look for what i need then leave. I just feel like you could categorize you side menu better. I like the by platform and then by type. It is nice to be able to click on Arduino see shields controllers etc.
Thanks,

Fix the responsive layout on windows
you could tweak your responsive breakpoints.
It's great that the site scales and works on mobile :D
But on windows, the layout hasn't taken into account the fact that scrollbars take up some of the reported available screen width.
With my 1200px wide monitor, this causes an unneccessary horizontal scrollbar.

How about making Fusion OPL parts available for prototyping of single PCBs that I would hand solder?
Since you don't support single quantity prototypes at a reasonable cost, can you make available the OPL parts for testing on prototype PCBs that we assemble ourselves? Just allow the parts to be purchased via your Bazaar.
