Re: Latest PM3 from China

If you look near the usb-cable there is 6pin-holes,  this is where you hook up the jtag .

Thanks iceman.
Pity the Atmel is the AT91SAM7S256. Otherwise it's a very nice build.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

I don't know if you have a special build,  but I have a radiowars 512kb version I really don't see that the sourcecode uses it anywhere.  I could of course have missunderstood how the arm uses memory,  but I think its for static memory like where we flash the images to.  But then, the 512kb version could also be faster, which I have no idea about.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

I have a special build on a modified Proxmark that uses some of the additional internal high-speed flash (AT91SAM7S512).
I found the Proxmark on taobao. It's a reasonable price.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

Cool, would you mind sharing it with me?  So I can use it for my radiowar modded version.

To be honest, I think for what you get with regards for size, antenna and mmcx  I think its a great price.

And it look really professional now, you will look serious when you do your fieldtesting or presentation



Actually, I think I will email the manufacturer Elechouse and ask if they can make a 512kb version also.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

Indeed, this board looks very sweet! Finally someone who dared to replace the ridiculous hirose connector wink
I quickly tried to find it on taobao but I could not locate it.
- Can you share a link?
- What did it cost you (including shipping/handling)?
- Would anyone be interested in organizing a group buy?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Latest PM3 from China

Not to be insulting or anything, but when you search for "proxmark3" on taobao,  the third ad shows this orange version and its the only ad selling this mod.

When it comes to group buys its only good if you are in the same region,    like US or europe, oceania,  because of import duty and shipping costs.   If someone in US order 10pieces , has to pay for it to come to US, and pay duty tax,  then  send it and more duty tax for europe.     Just sayin'.


I recommend you join up for the different regions and do a group buy. 

I paid about 1800SEK in total to get it to Sweden with shipping,  import tax, VAT & custom general fees.


But man is it worth it, just because of the professional look 'n feel.

I'm gonna mail the manufaturer and ask if they can make a 512kb version,  if there is more interested?

Re: Latest PM3 from China

I found my own picture (above in post1) in an ad for this pm3 mod,  on taobao...   That means that the creators of the PM3 RVD1 version reads this thread.   I guess I just need to ask straight out here instead,  if they can make a 512kb version?

Just to clarify to the community,   I'm not associated with these people.  I just bought 2 pieces.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

funny that they used your image.. smile  i like the battery port options, and the antenna ports.  LCD would be a nice addition.  I'm curious the effect of the clock source changes in practice. 

i might be interested in 1, but alas, i'm in the US.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

With this one,   all trouble I had with @piwi's changes is gone.  Some tags with "hf mf mifare" took long time on my other ones,  takes 19sec with this one.

Both LF / HF tags works.  I tried S50/S70 (magic / normal), UL / UL-C / UL-EV1 / Desfire,  skidata,  em410x, t5577 and hid proxcard,   and I can read em all.  "hf mf mifare" "hf mf nested" all works.   So I don't see the clock as a major issue, but thats my opinion.


Big plus is mmcx connectors,  and now I get both LF / HF at the same time.  Not that it really has a impact,  but the need for swapping antennas is gone. smile

Re: Latest PM3 from China

yeah, i don't like swapping antennas, so i fixed that with a custom cable:

proxmark3> hw tune

Measuring antenna characteristics, please wait........
# LF antenna: 46.48 V @   125.00 kHz
# LF antenna: 24.06 V @   134.00 kHz
# LF optimal: 46.61 V @   123.71 kHz
# HF antenna: 11.17 V @    13.56 MHz
Displaying LF tuning graph. Divisor 89 is 134khz, 95 is 125khz.

but MMCX would be nice.
Thanks for your tests/experience.

basically followed:http://www.proxmark.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=90

Re: Latest PM3 from China

That kit has a case and an battery connector for soldering on yourself. Cool.
However, the price went up....

I haven't heard something from the people. They obviously took my pic from this thread and used it but they never answered my open question here in this thread.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

Yeah, but it is less expensive than the rysc one, and it is without the crappy hirose connector. I will give it a try. In particular as with my rysc one too many "can't select card" errors occur using hf mf mifare and hf mf dump.

Re: Latest PM3 from China

I still suggest you order it from taobao,  besides the case and battery connector, is much cheaper.
Well, it all depends on where you located in the world and how much you want it smile

You got your wish, now 512kb memory  smile
It's cheaper too smile

Check it out here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.20141002.5.YZkAlo&scm=1007.10009.6098.i44011196753&id=45630625291&pvid=1ee730ef-f334-49f9-a986-e48a06f89075

My guess is that they don't want to bother with foreigners and their stupid questions. So they redirect you to a seller who speaks English. You might probably get that board from that other seller if you ask him.
But if you have an account on Tao with some buying history, they will not care that you are a foreigner. (please note that there is a limit of 1000 or 2000 YUAN for international credit card)

The main store is for China and around. If you are from Europe, US, or else; talk with the other store (link provided in the description).

Re: Latest PM3 from China

I've heard some feedback about the RVD version 2.

Improvments suggestions,   if they are reading this thread.
----------------------------------

- multi color led ABCD  instead of all red?
- Spartan III ?  instead of the II ?
- micro SD for storage?

Not sure which hardware you are refering to but I saw a fork on GitHub where a user has soldered an eeprom to his pm3 and was adding the changes in sourcecode.  Thats where I got the rumor about the RDV3...
