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 
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 
Your work is always worth the wait.
It’s a team effort, I’m just the guy who replies.
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… 
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.
Its been a month, just curious: Is there any update on when the aforementioned small batch is expected to be ready?
Sorry, I thought I had updated. All back orders shipped last week or the week prior. 6 is in stock and ships right away.
I also updated the dirtypcbs page.
It looks like I was pretty wrong here. SOME back orders shipped but not all. The remaining Bus Pirate 6s will arrive from the factory Monday and should ship by Tuesday 22 April.
Bus Pirate 6 was selling at a glacial pace (cost, newness). It took ~6 months to clear the first batch using the preview chips (and we replaced the first 100…). It seems like there is a lot of recent interest though. I should actually count the orders in the backend instead of eyeballing it.
Hey! So i placed an order on the 13th. I see you said on the 14th that the 6 was in stock and ships right away, but my order is still listed as backordered on dirtypcbs. Did something change with the stock or is it just taking a while for them to process backorders?
Hey!
I’m SUPER sorry about that, thank you so much for letting me know. We thought all back orders were shipped, but it looks like we missed yours. We’ll get that shipped tomorrow.
Edit to add: It looks like we ran out before getting all the back orders cleared. We got an emergency batch to ship for a workshop. Then we cleared back orders. I didn’t account for how many back orders there actually were (just assumed not to many). If anyone else is in the same position I apologize. @jin says the rest of the batch will start shipping again Tuesday at the latest.
Final edit (also updated above post):

Back orders shipped. 6 is in stock now.
