Free PCB Sunday: Bus Pirate v2a

v2a.iii

We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few professionally-made PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype.

This week we’re giving away two Bus Pirate v2a PCBs, PCB by Seeed Studio. The Bus Pirate v2a was really handy for developing the Bus Pirate v2 series, but the Bus Pirate v2go is really the final revision of the v2 design. The nicest feature of v2a is the power switch, which allows developers to reset the Bus Pirate without messing with the USB cable.

We’re giving away two PCBs this week, just ask for one in the comments. Be sure to use a real e-mail in the address field so we can contact you for shipping info. Some rules after the break.

Some rules we might adhere to:

  • Yes, we’ll mail it anywhere in the world!
  • First come, first serve. If we can’t contact the first winners we move down the list, so you should still make a request even if it looks like all the PCBs are gone.
  • Limit one PCB per address per month.
  • Like everything else on this site, this PCB is offered without warranty.

  1. I would be overjoyed to get one of these. It would be a great tool for learning SMD soldering for me.
    Also my second time requesting.

  2. This old salty creature could use some consolation seeing as the wonderful holiday of “Talk Like A Pirate Day” came and went without a single sighting of the Bus Pirate V3.

    Also I umm…need a good excuse to heat up a skillet and do some reflow soldering. :)

  5. If either is still available, I am always looking for something to assemble and play with.. and I just got a gift certificate to TechShop Durham.. so I can use their nifty electronics bench.
