This week is dedicated to Bus Pirate development. We’re cleaning up firmware v6 and getting ready for a final release. Today we documented the development process to help any prospective developers find their way around the Bus Pirate source. In the video:
- Compile the Bus Pirate firmware
- Basic work with SVN
- Soldering a demo board with bonus editorial on on 1-Wire
- Reading a DS1822 1-Wire thermometer
Here’s some links mentioned in the video:
- Component and part tester
- Compiling PIC projects
- Using SVN
- Bus Pirate demo boards
- DS1822 sensor demo
Grab the latest v6 firmware release candidate here.

Im glad the 1wire routines work on bp4. i was worried about that. great video.
Hey Ian;
I watched the video, nice job.
Have you thought of offering the BP along with the latest Demo Board as a package?
I learned a lot from your video.

That is one goal. I’d like to offer a big Bus Pirate everything kit with all adapters and accessories, a case, a carrying case, maybe a breadboard too.
also to note; once my v4 arrives i will double check the timing is as perfect as v3.5.
