Is v4 available now? I just want to make sure because if ver 4 is available soon I might want to wait.
Tell me in general what the Bus Pirate can achieve or what are its benefits over something like Microchips PICKIT 2 or 3 with MPLAN IDE software?
I just cannot really get this? I just want to basically read/write/dump/import and export the HEX and maybe some minor Hex modification but no programming really.
I have MPLAB Starter kit now.
Thanks

Re: Bus Pirate Ordered v3.5 and question on Ver. 4
Yes I actually spent time with the documentation and I can see that this is basically an Open source project and Open ended hardware such as upgrading the firmware to become a different type of say a specialty device am I correct to say?
The the main difference between Bus Pirate and for example MPLAB starter kit board is that Bus Pirate is open ended do this sound correct or I have this incorrect?

Re: Bus Pirate Ordered v3.5 and question on Ver. 4
There is no Bus Pirate 4.x hardware yet. However, the firmware and bootloader versions are independent from the hardware version. The current Bus Pirate firmware is version 4.
The Bus Pirate v3.5 runs firmware v4+ and bootloader v4+.
