Logic Sniffer: 3.06 Demon Core test
The Gadget Factory has a complete upgrade package for the new v3 Logic Sniffer core and firmware: Here is a package that eliminates the hassle of getting up and running with the latest “Demon” Core. Included is Jawi’s latest client and an upgraded version of the OLS Upgrader. The OLS Upgrader will step you through […]
Logic Sniffer: Windows GUI upgrade utility
dogsbody released a new version of his Windows GUI upgrade utility for the Logic Sniffer. It now upgrades both the PIC microcontroller an the FPGA ROM chip: I’ve updated my Windows GUI OLS loader to support programming PIC firmware. There are no extra knobs or buttons needed. Just select an image file, and the loader […]
Miniscope v4
From the comments on our earlier Miniscope v4 post: I’ve updated bus_pirate.dll to current interface version. There are only few changes between v4 and v3 app, but there will be no new additions to v3 (except for fixes if any). Library was not tested, so some feedback would be nice. Same as previous version, library […]
Seeed Studio: Back to work!
Seeed Studio is back from holiday. Any pending orders should ship this week. Stay tuned for more new projects.
Logic Sniffer important bug fix firmware v2.5
There is a new firmware v2.5 for the Logic Sniffer with an important bug fix. Please upgrade your Logic Sniffer right away. We noticed a bug in the OLS firmware where the PIC and FPGA could both try to control the ROM CS pin at the same time during the self-test. Firmware v2.5+ fixes this […]
Alternative Logic Sniffer client v0.9.3
Jawi has a new version of his client for the Logic Sniffer. This supports new features in the experimental Verilog core from dogsbody. Download it here. Here’s the major updates, see the changelog for more: RLE routines are heavily updated to match the latest firmwares of rasmus and IED/dogsbody. Now supporting 8, 16, 24 and […]
Bus Pirate in a NDS cartridge case
Brandon made a DIY Bus Pirate case : …Seeing that I just purchased my own CNC machine, I decided that I would make an el cheapo case for the time being and later mill one out of acetal or some other type of plastic. I looked around my house for something small and made of […]
Week in (p)review: February 06, 2011
Don’t forget to share your current project in the comments or the forum. This week our favorite project gets a free SOIC protoboard. Here’s a summary of major developments over the last week: We released a bunch of abandoned or stalled prototypes: XT IDE disk controller, Ethernet JTAG debugger, Ethernet LED driver, PIC Z-machine emulator, […]
Free PCB Sunday: xQFP breakouts
We go through a lot of prototype PCBs, and end up with lots of extras that we’ll never use. Every Sunday we give away a few PCBs from one of our past or future projects, or a related prototype. Our PCBs are made through Seeed Studio’s Fusion board service. This week we’re giving away two […]

rsdio serves us another heaping helping of interesting parts today. Check out the MAX8934G dual-input Li+/Li-Poly linear battery charger: Monitors temperature to ensure safe charging and JEITA battery charging specification compliance Charges safely by lowering the termination voltage and charge rate in hot or cold temperature Includes all integrated MOSFETs Delivers smart power path control […]
64-channel, current-input analog-to-digital converter
MichaelZ tipped us to a 64-channel, current-input analog-to-digital converter The DDC264 is a 20-bit, 64-channel, current-input analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It combines both current-to-voltage and A/D conversion so that 64 separate low-level current output devices, such as photodiodes, can be directly connected to its inputs and digitized. For each of the 64 inputs, the DDC264 uses […]

Free LPCXpresso ARM development boards
Pavel tipped us to an LPCXpresso ARM development board giveaway: Watch how others in the industry have broken their 8/16 bit habit! And, if you show us what you would do with your old 8/16 bit in order to switch to the new Cortex-M0, we’ll send you a FREE LPCXpresso! So don’t delay as supplies […]
PROTOTYPE: Daft Punk table controller
We’re releasing a stalled or abandoned prototype every few days while Seeed Studio is on break. We put a lot of work into these projects, but they’re still missing major components and testing. If an abandoned project sparks your interest, we may have PCBs to get you started. The goal of this project was to […]
Watterott Electronic has the Bus Pirate
Watterott Electronic in Germany is a new Bus Pirate distributor, pick one up here. Thank you to Watterott for supporting the Bus Pirate! If you’d like to be distributor please drop us a line. Hacker Spaces get distributor pricing too.
PROTOTYPE: PIC Z-machine emulator
We’re releasing a stalled or abandoned prototype every few days while Seeed Studio is on break. We put a lot of work into these projects, but they’re still missing major components and testing.

Web platform: Pico coroutine OS
voidptr posted a tiny OS for the web platform: i dusted of an old silly pico-kernel (smaller than micro) of coroutines from one on my old projects. this is not fancy or complete like other os or RTOS but it is very small and can be useful… it think of that has a “DangerousPrototype” :o) […]
