Lots of progress this week:
- We released an MCP2200 breakout board, and hacked it to run open source
- Fun with XC9500Xl and CoolRunner-II CPLDs. The wiki has quick start guides, and two new CPLD breakout board designs
- The Bus Pirate LCD adapter, MMA7455L 3-axis accelerometer, and MCP2200 USB->serial breakout are all back in stock
- rasmus posted a Logic Sniffer bitstream with fixes to RLE
- Get Honken’s USB stack running on a PIC24F and get a free Bus Pirate v4
- robots released a new all-in-one Logic Sniffer upgrade app for Linux and Windows
- Check out shuckc’s guide to the web platform and Linux
- Bus Blaster v2 CPLD upgrade fixes issues with some targets
- Pictures, schematic, PCB, and BOM for our Nokia LCD backpack are on the wiki
This week will be a little more relaxed:
- This is the last week before the Chinese Spring holiday. Everything shuts down for two weeks. You can still place orders at Seeed Studio, but they won’t ship until February 15th. Need it in a hurry? Try one of our distributors
- We’re still expecting Bus Blaster v1 in the Seeed shop before the Spring holiday
- Getting serious about the USB POV Toy
- The USB IR Toy should be back in stock soon. This batch will have a different LED that should give much better transmitting range
- We’re expecting a box of boards this week with the final USB IR Toy v2 update and a couple surprise projects
What are you hacking this week? Our favorite project gets an SOIC protoboard.
