Bus Pirate Support / Re: bus pirate with arduino pro mini,
[quote author="Modjoxtrem"]before i could load the sketch using the arduino software, would like to experiment the Bpv4 using UART communication bridge by hooking up an arduino pro mini board to it.. will it be possible, to do this? ....  great full for anyone that could help me with the procedure!

What exactly do you want to do ? You can use the BPv4 to program the pro mini with avrdude. You can send a recieve data  by hooking up the BPv4 to the arduino pro mini's serial port. If you want to use the BPv4 with  Arduino IDE your going to have to add some line to the programmmer.txt file http://https://taylanayken.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/using-bus-pirate-with-arduino-ide/

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Seeed ship out defective Bus Pirate V3
Have you selected the correct COM port ?

Well I think Seeed has improved quite a bit in the past few month. They'll send you replacements and most probabily through express shipping.

With the volume they sell there will been a few defective units that get past Q.C

You need to put in a lot of time and effort not money. Don't but kits instead buy tools. You should start by reading someting like "Practical Electronics for Inventors". By assembling a kit or building someting from a instructable does not make you an enginner,  kid in China and other Asian countries can assamble stuff 1000 times faster than most of us. You should buy kits when there's a sale or  you can hack them to make something cheaper instead of building from scrap.

General discussion / Do you think Raspberry Pi and Arduino is overhyped
The Raspberry Pi aka. the $35 computer  cost about $45 - $ 60 shipped in most countries and you require a bunch of other stuff to get it working. If you want to teach kids programming you can do that on a $200 netbook running some Linux distro now that cheap you've got everything a keyboard, display, touchpad, wi-fi, you can use it out of the box. I use a old laptop with a light weight Linux distro it has less computing power than todays smart phones but boot faster than most latest Windows computer with multi-core processor.

Arduino Yun why does it use a Atheros AR9331 ? I think you need to sign a NDA to get a data-sheet (correct me if I'm wrong). Connecting a Arduino to cheap TP-link router would be more fun. You'd get to void you're routers warranty and solder some stuff. Buying something of the shelf is not fun.

Is is just me who had a bad experience  with Seeedstudio or is it really bad ?[/quote]

I take back what I said  about Jaye. He's a good guy but takes a very long time to respond. Guess he is very busy.

[quote author="matseng"] "I'm so sorry for bring you confused. please calm down." [/quote]

Seeed's customer service is slow and sometime their reply's don't make sense.

Please do something about the customer service Eric. Except the customer service everyting else is good. Thanks for supporting the open source hardware community
