Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Re: Test Release 2.12 - Dynamic Sample Depth
I get an error when I try and run the Analyzer from the 2.12TestRelease. I double click on the "run_java_client.bat" and a DOS window opens, then closes. I try same .bat file from DOS myself and the error that comes up is:
Error while invoking application: null

Any suggestions?

I can open the alternative client ok and capture ok.

I have update the f/w to 2.12 as well.

Cheers for the help.

I'm not sure if this is along the right lines or not, but did you mean alternative 1-wire components or did that include adding more i2c/SPI components in place of 1-wire stuff?
Because what I would like on one of these boards (and I know its not really an EEPROM) would be a RTC/Calendar. I don't know how much that would drive costs up? I'm sure the ones in the BP wiki weren't too expensive but I know keeping costs down is a concern and why the 1-wire components were scrapped.

I dont know about which alternative components could be put on there but how about putting the traces, caps, resistors etc on the boards for the 1-wire components so that people can find and solder on their own stuff?
Maybe if there was space for two or three 1-wire components someone could stick an EEPROM and a temp sensor, mix the components and get a real expriance of the 1-wire system.

I might be waiting then. Makes more sense for me being in the UK to wait and put a large order in with SEEED to get the free postage (orders over $50 get free basic shipping for those that weren't aware).
Good stuff guys. Cant wait to hear more!

The EEPROM board looks interesting - what IC's you plan on putting on there?
I also see a new PCB for the BP in there - only just got my BPv3 but might be putting a SEEED order in if these get produced!

I know its early days but do you have any rough dates for releases? Christmas in 4 months people!

Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Re: 74HC595 weird issue
I remember now... I did switch to using external power thinking the two devices plugged into the same PC was causing issues but not remembering about the COM port reset thing so it kinda fixed the issue but for my own random reasoning!

I saw in another post you updated to FW 2.11; has it made any difference?

Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Re: 74HC595 weird issue
Myrmidon, I had the same problem, but I think I was a bit overzealous for my first test. I was using 2 shift registers controlling an 8x8 led matrix and tried to capture the clock/data/latch. I managed to get some results by altering the capture size and sample rate but nothing looked right. I think I will scale back to one shift reg and a row of LED's!

One question that might need a separate post; did you get random readings on probes/channels that were not connected to anything? I was getting very random results on channels that weren't connected to anything, especially at higher sample rates, but I have also seen release 2.11 might solve this.
What version of the OLS firmware are you running?

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Noob with some simple questions
I think I get what ipatch is saying, and I have the same question!
If you look at the back of the BPv3 there are the pin-outs; at the 'top' are +3.3 and GND. When you connect the probe cable with the cable coming out from the side (like in the pic above), which one of the two top wires/probes is the 3v3 and which is GND?

I have only just got my BP and I know I could test with a meter or something but if someone can tell us then two n00bs will be happy!

Cheers!

General discussion / Re: 3EEPROM preorder
Excellent. I am putting in an order for stuff at Seeed; is this where the boards will be sold? When will you have more info?

Will I be able to preorder this along with the rest of my stuff (including a BP v3!)?

Sorry for all the quesions!

General discussion / Re: 3EEPROM preorder
Bit of an old subject but is there anything progressing with these boards?
I'd definately be interested in ordering a couple, especially if they had a couple of each device (i.e. a couple of SPI, a couple of 1-wire components), after all, isnt that the benefit of these protocols, to access more than one device on the same bus (obviously using the same protocol)? And this board, along with the tutorials on the site would make a perfect example/starting point.
Maybe if two boards could be linked together extending the buses to other components??
I like the idea of the Wii controller connector as well.
I'm in the UK and would probably order 2 or three kits if they became available.
