General discussion / PM system problem
Hi;
  There is a problem with the PM system.
The message "User control panel (1 new message)", seems to be permanent.

I have deleted all the messages, and closed Firefox.
Trying to read messages shows "no messages" in bold, which is correct.
However ...

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / 5v/3.3v PS PCB
Hi;
  Here is a simple but versatile power supply board.
It uses either a TO-220 7805 or a TO-92 78L05 (or other voltages).
Power LED is optional,  and can be on-board or remote with a header.
Power switch is optional, install a 2-pin header and cut the trace between it.
I usually use the power jack and cut a hole in the side of a case, then hot glue and black RTV to hold it.
There is a power in 2-pin header as well as 2.1mm power jack.
Headers are of course optional, just solder wires in the holes.

Bus Pirate Support / BPV4 update file too big
Hi;
  I just updated my BPV3 to 6.3r2151 no problem.
I tried to update my BPv4 to the same.
Downloaded
http://dangerous-prototypes-open-hardwa ... -r2151.hex

File info
Size: 985075 bytes, 21895 lines

Whereas BPv3 file:
http://dangerous-prototypes-open-hardwa ... -r2151.hex
File info
Size: 241951 bytes, 5379 lines

That is a huge size difference.
When I try to update:

[root@localhost FIRMWARE]# ./pirate-loader_lnx --dev=/dev/ttyACM0 --hex=BPv4-firmware-v6.3-r2151.hex
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  Pirate-Loader for BP with Bootloader v4+

edit:
I recompiled the loader for V4.

One dead BPv4.
This happened to me before, but since my account was deleted the fix is gone.
I will break out my Pickit and see.

General discussion / My account was deleted completely
H guys;
  This morning there was a spam post from a kickstarter. project
I replied with "SPAM".

My account was then deleted completely.
All posts that I replied to, I am missing from.
I had to create a new account and re-register

Of course all posts/projects that I have posted are gone.
I am now a "new user", so this is my first post.

If this is possible, then security should be improved on the board.
