Who turns my ESP32 dev-board prototype into a custom board and enclosure, 10 to 250 units?
Anvol, Inc. is a Delaware company with engineers in Shenzhen. Our engineers have taken ESP32 and RP2040 prototypes to custom boards with enclosures, with development of $1,500 to $2,000 in 10 to 30 days and parts of $10 to $25 per unit at 10 to 50 sets. You sign with Anvol, Inc. and pay in USD.

What changes from a dev board to your own board
- You send
- The dev board setup that works, the firmware, the parts list, what the product must fit into.
- We design
- A board with only the parts you use, connectors and charging where your enclosure needs them, and an enclosure around it.
- We check
- The firmware on the new board against what the dev board did, before any batch.
Quantity: where our numbers stop
Our priced builds are at 10, 50 and 100 pieces (the 100 is small expansion modules). Our largest delivered batch is 10 units. A run of 100 to 250 boards is quoted for its own quantity, not stretched from the prices above. See pilot and small batch.
Not included
- Certification testing (FCC/CE)
- Done by a test lab and quoted separately; a radio module on the board is part of that discussion. See FCC for a prototype.
- Shipping and import duties
- Usually arranged by you once units leave the factory.
