Hi Bret,

It looks like we found the issue with ZTerm and some later firmwares. Some people were having an issue with ZTerm because the default profile sent a modem initialization string (AT…something) that accidentally put the Bus Pirate in binary mode.

This is something to check if you’re using ZTerm and you can’t see anything in the terminal, your MODE LED will probably also be on when this happens.

Thanks Ian, post updated. I still haven’t gotten around to updating my firmware so I hadn’t run into that yet.

The XON/XOFF setting isn’t required in recent firmwares (2.2+) and might be causing a problem with the latest (v2.5+) and ZTerm.

I’m another of the unwashed masses interested in buying one of these already assembled when you get around to that. I’ll check back regularly to see if its been updated; but also feel free to email me directly.

You still want to sell a board? I’d love to get one. I’m just got an arduino for the same woot light purpose.
