Bus Pirate Development / Re: Bus Pirate LCD adapter v2
I'd take one as I'm ordering more of your "prototypes" :)

Oh, could Seeed include a female-female changer to the big row of pins. My LCD has male pins, so it would be easier to use...

Hello again! I tried with a Windows Vista PC, it was quite huge pita to install the drivers :)

While I'm not sure if I did everything right, at least putty connects to BP. But it shows nothing, just blank screen. After a while of banging the keyboard and waiting the putty screen shows squares and X:s but nothing clear.

then removed and plugged again in
python P24qp.py -s /dev/ttyUSB0 -a BPv3/v3-Firmware-v3.5.hex
Everything looks like it should, but the problem stays, I can't connect to BP with screen. I tried 2nd time, but nothing changed.

I live in Eastern Finland...

Yes, the MODE light is on and upload seems to work perfectly, but after uploading nothing has changed.

Edit: So I never get to see the upgrader greeting and type yes. Even firmware compatible with older bootloader fails to work.

I don't know where the error.txt should be... Sorry that dumping doesn't work.

Yes, "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 8N1 115200 8N1" gives blank terminal and only the PWR led is on. USB led DOESN'T flash during typing as it were when BP still worked. It worked when I got it, but I did something wrong during the upgrade to v4 bootloader or something.

I think I need an ICSP programmer, any suggestions?

Bus Pirate Support / Re: Bricked? Suggestions?
I uploaded the upgrader to BP with P24QP.py. Then pulled the BP out and back in, connecting with screen: no text, not even after typing. But when I typed something, the MODE led turns on and stays on for a while. Sorry, but I can't understand what is going on. Thanks for your help :)

Hello, sorry for long delay, had to work & sleep most of the time.

BP connected to USB, no pins shorted:
LEDs: PWR on, USB flashes several times, then off, others off.
linux: detects FT232RL and assigns BP to /dev/ttyUSB0
Connecting with screen: gives blank screen. Typing has no effects. Pulling USB cable out closes the screen session (so it's connected to somewhere).

For example the following seems to work

During programming the PWR is on and USB flashes, MODE is also on.
Hope that helps.

Hello everyone!

I have somewhat bricked BPv3a. Upgrade to v4 bootloader was not successful, never got it to the "yes", if I remember correctly. It has been dead for few months, but now it would be nice to fix it.

So, do I need a PIC programmer (can I build one, if so, which?) or another BP or a friend with one? I'm a bit new to uCs, and I may need some how-to for programming my dead BP.

Thank you for replies, everything helps :)
