Villamany got a cheap MD80 video camera from eBay. It has a really annoying feature, it prints the date on the video with no apparent way to disable it.
Armed with a Bus Pirate, he dumped the firmware, removed the date, and reprogrammed the camera. Original in Spanish (machine translation).
What are you hacking with your Bus Pirate?
You can get your own handy Bus Pirate for $30, including world-wide shipping. Also available from our friendly distributors Adafruit and Open Source Control Systems. Each purchase supports further development of this open source project.
Thanks for the tip! Found one for cheap on Yahoo Auctions and made a bid. :)
Thanks Ian for taking the time and posting bus pirate hacks. thing like this give me new ideas ;)
