What’s a bus pirate, precious?

I hope the bus pirate is a tip of the iceberg of useful tools / boards going to come out of hackaday.com

Any other interesting projects in the pipeline?

Digi-Key has 2 PIC24FJ64GA002s left. Better get ‘em before some Bus Pirate pirate gets ‘em…!

Why bother with overpriced Digi-Key it cost half from microchip

AWESOME! I’m glad this is so successful, I ordered mine as soon as I saw the announcement :)

I actually have project in the pipeline that will greatly benefit from having a bus pirate to hand!

Thanks hackaday.

Hey… Maybe some holes to screw it on a support are interesting… Any other way to get it more useful ?

There was rumor on one of the bus pirate comment threads last week about an upcoming tutorial on making test probes with hook / grabber leads. Is that in the works soon? I’m interested in making a set of test probes for the bus pirate that I pre-ordered as well as for another project, and I’m interested in where you guys might suggest as a source for the parts. I’ve found most of the parts at futurlec, and they have the hooks on allelectronics (black and red) or NKC electronics (full color set). Is there any good source that I can use for everything? Any thoughts?

@bblack – We’ll have a cable how-to on Thursday.

@Squantmuts – Sometimes there’s clues (Easter eggs) about future projects in our posts and how-tos. The parts posts, especially.

can we get the bus pirate not assembled?

OK, I confess I have not been paying attention… However, I thought the original “Bus Pirate” was meant to partially automate the process of discovering unmarked debug ports on consumer devices.

This device appears to aspire to be a multi-protocol to USB converter.

Am I missing something?

I am glad I ordered mine straight away :D

excellent job you guys and congrats on the success!

I’m looking forward to the cable-how-to. I think I’ve got all the parts except for the 10-pin idc connector, which I’m sure I can salvage from *somewhere*.

Fry’s had a 10-pack of color coded probe clips for $15. More than I wanted to pay, but they come in the pretty colors of the resistor color code!

does seeed studio not have a secure registration page? i’d love a buspirate, but will make do without if seeed won’t even bother with an https url for logging in. i can’t imagine what else they don’t bother with.
