Comments on: Bus Pirate preorder 1 ships http://hackaday.com/2009/07/16/bus-pirate-preorder-1-ships/ Fresh hacks every day Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:22:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jonathan http://hackaday.com/2009/07/16/bus-pirate-preorder-1-ships/comment-page-1/#comment-99508 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:17:42 +0000 http://hackaday.com/?p=12740#comment-99508 My pre-order 2 has been sitting on my desk for a while now, I’ve plugged it into a couple systems and failed to get anywhere with a serial console. The “mode” light was lit, though the documentation indicated that it should not be lit before selecting a mode in the firmware.

Today I finally wasted about two hours figuring it out. Apparently, it came without any firmware loaded, and I needed to “just know” to go upload firmware to my device. What exactly the “QA passed” sticker on the bottom means… I’m not sure.

Anyway, anyone else who got a preorder 2, you need to go to buspirate.com (Didn’t know that existed until now) and there is other info at dangerousprototypes.com.

The second pre-order had such a long and loose lead time estimate because there’s nowhere to get 700 PIC24FJ64GA002-I/SO right now. It looks like Microchip is starting new production and more chips will be ready soon. We’ll have an update on pre-order 2 next week.

This is pure speculation, but there’s a revision 4 of the 24FJ64 coming that corrects the broken hardware I2C module, the switch to the updated chip might explain the current shortage. A Microchip engineer mentioned that he already had R4 silicon this spring. Again, pure speculation.

If pre-order 2 gets an R4 chip, then those lucky Bus Pirates can do some hardware I2C stuff that we couldn’t implement before because of the faulty I2C hardware in R3.

I was not here for a long time, and I am really interested on getting one piece!

Thanks a lot!

Mine is on da way. Should have it tomorrow or Saturday, coming to Jakarta via DHL. I have a misbehaving MAX7219 SPI driver that wanna make love to Bus Pirate.
