Workshop Update for January 22nd, 2013
Today we worked on the Bus Pirate future version development. We’re trying to incorporate the Logic Shrimp v2 method of recording signals to the Bus Pirate. This new project extends Bus Pirate’s features into recording and replaying protocol signals and more.

Any thoughts on putting some basic ESD/overload protection on the I/O lines? A few resistors, TVS and/or polyfuses would go a long way towards saving them from dumb mistakes and riding around in backpacks. (I’m starting on a mod of the BPv4 but have been sidetracked by trasferring everything to KiCAD).
What kind of ISP connector is that on the new BP layout? I’ve seen the ISPtouch concept posted here a few weeks ago and I know the TagConnect products. But this seems to be something different.
We are experimenting with smaller ICSP connectors for our projects: http://dangerousprototypes.com/2012/12/17/testing-the-new-icsp-connector/
Hmm, when not using the commercial TagConnect – why didn’t you use the ISPtouch as it was posted on the blog?
Why use a Non-standard connector?
Not everyone has this connector. As far as I can tell the board area is not an issue nor it has been significantly reduced. As for the Pogo-pin programming adapter, you can still make using the form factor of the standard ICSP connector supported by Microchip.
