Workshop Update for July 10th, 2012

Today we did some software, and server updates, and we confirmed we weren’t effected by the Linux leap second bug. We soldered a few extra Bus Pirate demo board protos. Tomorrow we’ll probably sync the old bug list with the new public tracker, and retire the list. ATX Breakout Board v1.1 Sick of Beige case […]

Another aluminum CNC milled Bus Pirate case

A few days ago we wrote about Mmattice’s milled aluminum case, here’s another design, a CNC milled case from Epninety. Drawn in CamBam, and cut on a CNC converted Taig micromill with Mach3. I didn’t have any engraving tools, so abused a cheap 45degree spot drill instead. No screws holding the case together, there is […]

Laser cut acrylic Bus Pirate case

Here’s another cool laser cut acrylic case for the Bus Pirate. There are many custom enclosures for Bus Pirate, must be a very popular product (we at LAWICEL AB knows this of course). We sell the Sparkfun version (TOL-09544). The original version was made by Ian Lesnet of Dangerous Prototypes. After looking arround on enclosures […]

Stained hardwood case for the Bus Pirate v4

Here’s a stained maple-wood case for the Bus pirate v4, milled by Vince at the Xerocraft hackerspace in Tuscan Arizona. The Bus Pirate is an open source hacker multi-tool that talks to electronic stuff. It’s got a bunch of features an intrepid hacker might need to prototype their next project. The Bus Pirate is sold […]

Punnet cardboard cut-out case for the Raspberry Pi

It doesn’t get much simpler than this cardboard case for the Raspberry-Pi. It’s a printable cut-out design that shows you where to cut, bend, and glue to make a simple enclosure. While this isn’t the most professional looking enclosure for a project, it does provide some protection. We’d like to design DIY cutout cases for […]

Laser cut case for the Logic Sniffer and the Buffer Wing

PariahZero laser cut some black Delrin plastic to build a case for the Logic Sniffer. He also designed a detachable case for the Buffer Wing. If you are interested in the source SVG files for laser cutting, contact him in the forum. I’ve used laser-cut 0.125″ black Delrin plastic; I felt the extra strength (vs. […]

Laser cut acrylic case for Bus Pirate v4

Here’s another cool laser cut acrylic case for the Bus Pirate. It’s made out of 4 layers of 2mm transparent acrylic. The inner two layers simultaneously act as standoffs and as an edge to the enclosure. The SVG source files are available if anyone wants to laser cut his design. I designed a laser cut […]

Yet another Bus Pirate case “clamshell” v1

Dsm showcased the latest iteration of the “clamshell” case for the Bus Pirate v4. It’s built from two pieces of plastic that are joined together with magnets. All buttons, headers, and LEDs are accessible from outside the case. See our case video from a few weeks ago. More awesome DIY cases. Via the forum. Get […]

Clamshell “Yet Another Bus Pirate Case” design

Dsm posted updates on his “clamshell” yabp case design for the Bus Pirate v4. Instead of the screws I had been using, this version of the “clamshell” yabp case uses neodymium magnets to hold the top case and bottom case together. This change should make it easier to open and close the case (no lost […]

Arhi’s transitor tester built into a case

Arhi built a transistor tester, a tool that recognizes and measures most common semiconductors. We’ve been following this project closely for the past week or so. After building a perf-board version, he made this version to put in a case. Check out the video of it in operation above. Via the forum.

Application to Proto Labs for a Protomold Bus Pirate case

  As we mentioned in the Bus Pirate case video, we are trying to get fcobcn’s milled Bus Pirate case turned into a molded product. Molded cases are pretty cheap, unfortunately the molds are thousands of dollars. Proto Labs offers free quick-turnaround molds to deserving projects. We believe fcobcn’s case is such a project, so […]
