3D Model: Bus Pirate and breadboard holder 2

Today’s model is the second iteration of the Bus Pirate and breadboard holder we designed for a kit we are prototyping. It this version the Bus Pirate is interfaced with a TO220-5 packaged IC. The holder board was designed in Sketchup and the design SVG files were sent for laser cutting. Free PCB to the […]

3D Model: FT230X Breakout Board with prototyping area

Today’s 3D model is the FT230X USB-to-UART IC Breakout board with a prototyping area. It also features a LTC4053 Li-Ion battery charging IC giving you the option to add this to your prototype. Some errors creeped up on the PCB design which were caught today. Namely the LTC4053 pads are a not long enough,  and […]

3D Model: Logic Shrimp v2b

Today’s 3D model is the Logic Shrimp v2b. The newer version uses the single 23LC1024 SRAM instead of four 23K256, and the serial data lines (SD0 – SD3) are now bi-directional. The Logic Shrimp is a 4 channel, medium speed, low cost logic analyzer with 256K samples and 20MHz top speed. Check out our tutorial […]

3D Model: Bus Pirate v4c AKA the Sick of Beige version

Today’s 3D model is the Bus Pirate v4c, also know as the Sick of Beige compatible version. The Bus Pirate is an open source hacker multi-tool that talks to electronic stuff.

Check out our tutorial on how to build 3D models from Cadsoft Eagle board files, as well as the tutorial on how to render life like […]

Workshop Update for July 9th, 2012

Today we finished building latest revision, and started testing the secret project firmware. We found a couple of bugs in our latest PCB design. The ‘DIR’ pin of the 74xx245 transceiver was connected to GND instead of being pulled high, and the ‘R/W’ pin of the LCD was left unconnected. We also organized in-progress projects […]
