Title: Buspirate 4 Faulty?
Post by: Jascol on June 23, 2014, 09:30:00 am
To Whom It May Concern:

I recently ordered the Buspirate4, After numerous attempts to get it working in different operating systems : Linux/Windows/Mac os x, I have come to the conclusion that it is defective/faulty.

I am unable to upgrade the firmware as well.
unable to do so, it complains about connecting to the "Bootloader" and i have put the device in to boot loader mode successfully.? please advise me anything I could do?


Thank you

Same here, it's a shame, BPv3 was so good, but quality control here seems to have gone out the window.

From the Product Page at Seeedstudio:

Each Bus Pirate v4 is tested before it leaves the factory, but please keep in mind that v4 is still experimental, unproven hardware. If in doubt please buy the cheaper Bus Pirate v3

I think it is somewhat disengenuous to complain in the circumstances.

Your BusPirate v4 will be a very reliable tool after this update
