Bus Pirate 6 is back ordered

The last Bus Pirate 6 has gone to its forever home.

The next batch will begin production tomorrow when get some RP2350 chips. I’m not going to estimate a ship date, expect several weeks.

Uptake of 6 has been slow, it took 6 months to get rid of the sample reel of RP2350B RPi gave us. This makes sense - BP6 is way expensive, 5 is still more than fine, and the whole bumpy start with the E9 bug’s impact on the first batch. Hopefully availability doesn’t impact many people.

Should have got my order in last night :smiley:

Can you tell me what all the 6 come with? It says on the store page “All Bus Pirate accessories! Adapters, planks, cables, more!” I was planning on ordering some of the planks and adaptors, but I don’t need duplicates lol

In my various shops (dirtyPCBs, shop.buspirate doesn’t work yet) there shouldn’t be any bundles. The Bus Pirate is the assembled PCB in an enclosure with a small kit of buttons, bolts and wrench.

Some of our distributors have bundles though, but they don’t have the BP6 as it was a preview version of the RP2350 chip with limited supply.

Ahh reading is hard. I see it actually says Some accessories you might like: sorry! If I put in an order now does it just ship when stock comes in, or should I wait?

Sure, if you order now you’re next in line.

Please be patient with us, my sense is this will be a weird production cycle. No specific reason, but we can just now buy RP2350B in the market and that makes me :eyes:

Funny you send this the same day I pass on 1 of the two I have left to a curious individual who you’ll likely see around here soon. I’m glad to hear that there will be another production run… :crossed_fingers: Looking forward to purchasing a few more once they’re available.

One of our regular suppliers managed to source RP2350B. They’re reputable, so we’re moving ahead with a small batch.
