Week in (p)review: January 30, 2011

Don’t forget to share your current project in the comments or the forum. This week our favorite project gets a free SOIC protoboard.

Here’s a summary of major developments over the last week:

• The new forum is running, we hope you enjoy the added features of the phpBB software. It was a bit of a rough start, thanks for your patience
• We  released three new TQFP breakout boards
• rasmus released another bitstream with RLE fixes for the Logic Sniffer
• masud and RonZ modified the web platform to have a static IP address
• Check out dogsbody’s Logic Sniffer FPGA core and Jawi’s beta client with support for the new features
• Learn how to use the Logic Sniffer to debug a FPGA at The Gadget Factory
• cloudform551 posted an updated Python interface library for the Bus Pirate
• Late addition: the issue with WordPress comments seems fixed now

This week will be full of new stuff:

• While Seeed Studio is on Spring holiday we won’t have new projects in the shop. Instead, we’re going to release an abandoned or stalled project from our workshop every few days. There will be some clocks, Daft Punk table gear, Arduino shields, and more!
• We’re waiting by the mail box for two boxes of PCBs. They have the final USB IR Toy v2, a Bus Blaster v2 update, and a couple surprise projects
• Forum stickies and wiki pages will get a general refresh, and should to point to the latest everything
• More and more developers are contributing to the Honken USB stack. We expect to do some heavy testing and debugging this week
• This the first week of the Chinese Spring holiday. Everything shuts down for two weeks. You can still place orders at Seeed Studio, but they won’t ship until February 15th. Need it in a hurry? Try one of our distributors
