Support & Documentation

You will find our open-source software and design files, along with a user guide and other documentation, in our Github repository. This includes:

Manufacturing Plan

CrowVision motherboards will be SMT assembled, soldered, and tested at our manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China. Here at Elecrow, we have years of PCB fabrication and assembly experience. We offer PCBA services—including both limited runs and mass production—to engineers and electronics developers worldwide.

Fulfillment & Logistics

Teaming up with Crowd Supply allows us to utilize the global logistics capabilities of Mouser Electronics, Crowd Supply’s fulfillment partner. Once CrowVision leaves the factory, it will go straight to Mouser’s warehouse, then on to your doorstep. You can learn more about Crowd Supply’s fulfillment service under Ordering, Paying, and Shipping in their guide.

Risks & Challenges

Despite lingering supply-chain challenges and restrictive import policies, we are confident that we can manufacture and ship CrowVision on schedule. We enjoy friendly, effective relationships with our suppliers and distributors and have identified backup suppliers for CrowVision’s key components, just in case. Finally, to mitigate these and other possible risks, we have already completed an initial production run of CrowVision products.
