Jumperless + BusPirate?

The latest Jumperless is amazing! I got caught up this weekend, the demo video is so cool. Immediately pulled the schematic to see how it works, the LED page is impressive.

There’s a 2021-ish vintage discussion on Jumperless github (first page google result for CH446X) that was a nice primer.

This fits last week’s project. We worked up a “blank plank” for prototyping. I also looked at bread board-y type things, but from a completely different perspective (no automated signal routing or anything like that).

Something like this would be an opportunity to figure out the Bus Pirate to Jumperless communication channel.

Would splitting the center arm into two arms that go on the outside rows make sense? So that DIP (adapter) chips don’t straddle the PCB and obstruct the view of the LEDs?
