FOR DEVELOPERS: Bus Pirate v4
An experimental Bus Pirate v4 prototype is now available for $50 at Seeed Studio. This batch of Bus Pirate v4 is intended only for developers and accessory designers. It comes on a green PCB to signify that it’s not ready for general use.
It ships without a firmware, you must have a PIC programmer to use Bus Pirate v4.
The initial price is set very high to discourage non-developers. Active developers will receive a 50%-100% refund from Dangerous Prototypes.
Seeed is listing half of the developer boards. If they run out and you need one, we’ll dip into the reserve boards.
If no major flaws are discovered in the v4 design, it can go into mass production when we have a working bootloader for USB firmware upgrades. Unfortunately this hasn’t even been started, but we hope to make some progress next week.
Read about the Bus Pirate v4 design on the wiki and join the development effort in the forum.

i just wanted to shoutout
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
Finally the “bus pirate v4″ rears its head to the world
Been waiting FOREVER for this, MORE PINS = MORE OWNAGE
it will be g8 if the probe cable connector is right angle in production. and past a sticker on top of it :)
That’s a really good idea. Thanks! The idea behind this soft launch is to get this stuff out of the way before we commit to a design we regret. You guys are the advantage of an open design process.
I like the way things work around here, a product is developed supported and updated, in the past too many times I have ran across a project that has died out and not available :(
Thanks DP :D
How can i get a discount for BPv4?
If you become a developer and contribute code I’ll personally refund half or all of the cost.
