What are you hacking this week?
What happened to “a new project every month”? Seems like we’re bogged down in free PCB giveaways and that’s it these days.
Yeah. I agree so
No worries, have some stuff that will be revealed soon :)
In recent months we’ve released mostly updated projects (bpv3.5, bus blaster v2.5, cpld updates, etc). You are right though, i am having a hard time keeping up. As DP has grown, I spend all the time I used to spend making projects doing support in the forum :) we actually have released about 3 new projects in the last months, however I have not had time to document them. 2 LCD back packs and bus pirate v4 final come to mind. Plus a number of soft launch projects like picqueno, weather shield, adk, etc where the pcbs are available but we have not put them into production yet.
The good news is I now have full time writing help, and one of our part time engineers will be full time in January. Look for 3 new writeups this month (already complete) and a slew of backlogged stuff will be cleared.
Adding… in progress products are going to be actively discussed starting next week.
Aren’t we also expecting this week the 7400 contest winners announcement?
Yeah I also quote “Winners will be announced on this webpage by November 1, 2011.”
