Honken’s new open source USB stack is running on a bunch of PIC 18Fs, even on the MCP2200 USB->serial converter. Our next goal is to get it going on the PIC 24F. This port is the last major hurdle before producing Bus Pirate v4. We’ll send you a free Bus Pirate v4 if you get […]

FOR DEVELOPERS: Bus Pirate v4
An experimental Bus Pirate v4 prototype is now available for $50 at Seeed Studio. This batch of Bus Pirate v4 is intended only for developers and accessory designers. It comes on a green PCB to signify that it’s not ready for general use. It ships without a firmware, you must have a PIC programmer to […]
Big box of circuit boards
A box of PCBs just arrived from Seeed Studio’s Fusion PCB service. This batch includes: Bus Pirate v4 USB POV Toy Through-hole IR Toy PIC USB LCD backpack version We’ll be flinging lead today, watch for prototype updates later.
Bus Pirate v4 hardware self-test
Bus Pirate v4 just passed the hardware self-test. A test firmware will be available soon. So far we’ve implemented: USB connection Main IO pins Hardware I2C On-board EEPROM, with I2C edit mode v4 hardware self-test Function button Extra axillary pins New LEDs Next we’re going to address a bug in the pull-up voltage select circuit. […]
Bus Pirate v4 firmware alpha – alive!
Bus Pirate v4 is alive! Bus Pirate firmware v5.9 is running on the new Bus Pirate v4 hardware with direct PIC-based USB connection. It started out slow because USB support is hacked into replacements for the existing serial port functions, but the latest SVN version is working great. BPv4 doesn’t pass the self-test yet, but […]
Bus Pirate v4, IR Toy update, 3EEPROM PCBs
A big box of PCBs arrived from Seeed’s Fusion board service today. Here are a few of the boards that have been mentioned on the blog or in the forum: An updated 3EEPROM explorer board USB Infrared Toy manufacturing update Bus Pirate v4 prototype for developers Most of these boards won’t be available for months, […]
Free PCB Sunday: Bus Pirate v4 prototype
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 professionally-made 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 […]
