BusPirate V3.5 SOIC free PCB built

July 23, 2011, 07:36:57 pm

Finally I have completed my free Bus Pirate built, must say that this is my first attempt to solder a complete smd circuit.
It turned out to become almost completely free, all parts were recycled or free sourced (except for the FTDI).

3 hints in case your are missing some parts to complete yours:

-Found a lot of 4066s IC on old CD-ROM drives.
-Old motherboards are a great place to get resistor networks.
-That old cell phone wich died from drowning may donate the usb connector...

Nice work, thanks for the build pictures. A free PCB code is in a PM.

Looks great! It's pretty cool you were able to do it with nearly completely salvaged parts.
