RonZ posted pictures of a Bus Pirate v2go that is being made and sold in New Zealand.
We never thought the Bus Pirate would be so popular. Closed-source companies usually feel threatened by third-party manufacturers, but we welcome the additional exposure, advertising, and contributions that it brings.

Thats pretty cool :)
I like the case, I wonder if they sell the cases.
Hi, i am actually the one who made that here in NZ. I am not a company producing bus pirates, its just at the time it was easier and cheaper (student with little money but access to the necessary parts) for me to draw the PCB and throw it on a prototyping run than buy it off the website. After making one for myself and a few other interested friends i simply sold off the last few remaining to help cover the cost and even put some of the money towards a logic sniffer i got from you guys (just as a note i am a big fan of the website and on the auction i gave all the credit and provided links to the website etc so if the person preferred they could buy it directly from you). But the bus pirate is a great little tool and has proved very helpful, you guys did great on the design! DrF, i have sold a couple of cases before to people here in NZ, i have designs for the v2go,v3 and logic sniffer, if you were interested we could look into something, alternatively if you have access to a laser cutter in the spirit of sharing i could upload the dxf files for this case.
Hi Chris,
Nice work on your Bus Pirate! I’m always super happy to see people make them, whether a big company or a student with a few extra on eBay. It’s fantastic! I wasn’t kidding in the post, you do us a huge favor by putting it out there. Thanks for exposing new people to it.
