Bus Pirate V3 Basics on Mac
Today I got home from my day job and found at small package with custom stamps all over it. Needles to say this was the V3 Bus Pirate that I orded about 3 – 4 weeks ago.

So just push something like 9 <enter> and it will change the mode of the bus pirate to PC KEYBOARD mode. Very cool stuff. Will blog more on it after my work on the contraptor.org project for the lightning talks @hacdc is over.
