Bus Pirate Support / BusPirate v3 - burnt MOSI line
It is a pure ground on pin 18 of the PIC chip now, so I assume this pin is out of work completely. Other things work according to self test.
So my question is how to recover from this?
- if buy new one - would you recommend to try v4, even if it's not yet officially released?
- may I order somewhere new pic chip with firmware preloaded?
- is it possible to rearrange the problem pin to another one, recompile and update firmware and rewire a little bit on the board?
Interesting, some other device (EV2300 from TI) was connected in parallel to buspirate when it happened. And it survived due to ESD protection gl05t diodes on signal lines. Was it discussed to add some protection into a buspirate?
Thanks in advance.
