Hello all!
I’ve been away, doing stupid shit in crypto-land.
However, I am currently having a PCB house build some JTAGulator-esque boards (as the official project does not contain a pick-and-place file or a BOM that a PCB house can use, I had to re-implement the schematics, but otherwise they’re compatible). Once the board is finalised, I will post them up publicly. It’s a hardware hacking device that, among other things, can find JTAG ports across 24 pins/channels. I’m not a PCB designer by any means, but I think I got it right.
As those who have used PCB houses know, setup costs are relatively fixed across a run. I’m looking for anyone possibly interested in ordering these for cost price before i make my final component orders. I can have 5 made, and I obviously would like 1 for myself, and the cost for 5 boards made and built is about $300USD. Shipping from the board house is not included, but the estimates are going to be $60USD each plus shipping to buyers. I don’t need anything firm, just an expression of interest to see if it’s worth me getting additional chips and having more made. As official JTAGulators are now a discontinued item, and they go for about $200USD each, and more with Australia Tax ($445aud for one from a local supplier), this should be a bit of a saving even with international post.
The only difference mainly is that the boards don’t have Bus Pirate headers vs a real JTAGulator. They have all the other hardware a “real” one has, and I will test and program them before send-out.
