essential Logic is selling a Bus Pirate kit as well as bare PCB based on our universal serial interface tool. They started with our serial port-based v1a hardware, as well as modified it to utilize all through-hole parts. 8pin DIP LP2951ACN/-3.3 switchable voltage regulators replace the surface install TPS79650/33 that we used. The photo is pre-programmed with our latest firmware, version 0f, which includes a bootloader for simple firmware updates with the serial port. Documentation includes illustrated assembly instructions.
Speaking of Bus Pirate goodness, we’re hectic working on hardware V2. As astute visitors may have already noticed, the final version of the Bus Pirate incorporates an FTDI USB->serial chip, as well as draws its power from the USB port. We likewise tackled the software-controlled pull-up resistor feature, as well as reduced the general part count as well as cost. finest of all, we’re working to make assembled PCBs offered with world-wide shipping. The how-to should be prepared in a few weeks.
