The snark in these comments! @geotp please don't be put off, this is great work. Found it in recent days and couldn't have been better timing for what I needed to do. I have it running well on a Heltec WiFi LoRa 32(V3) with very minor patches to support the CP2102 UART.

Thanks for your support If you want, you can push the platformio env for your specific board to add it to the list of supported boards

+1 for V3 support, and if there's anything I can do to help with V4 support, let me know. I've not got the most free time, but would be happy to contribute if possible.

Happy to PR. I'll do in 2 parts, as needs the platformio env as well as UART-aware serial init in adapters and terminal.

True! Also a perfect timing for me. Do you mind sharing the changes?

On it :)

@geotp Ignore a lot of the mean comments, this is an excellent project and something that I've being meaning to hack together for myself. Having web access to remotely debug I2C/UART is a literal godsend. I cannot wait to just drop in an ESP32 instead of having to connect a rats nest of wires.

Thanks for the support

I’m French and my English isn’t very good, so please excuse me for using a translator. Feel free to take a look at the codebase

Ok! Sorry, the translation is kinda rough and seems rigid and robotic.

would that not imply the opposite conclusion?

ESP32 Bit Pirate is an open-source firmware that transforms compatible devices into versatile multi-protocol hacking tools, inspired by the original Bus Pirate. It can sniff, send, script, and interact with digital protocols such as I2C, UART, SPI, and 1-Wire through either a Serial CLI or a Web CLI. It also supports wireless technologies including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Sub-GHz, and RFID. Install the firmware in one clic…

This looks great! Thank you.

So the title would be better as saying potentially every protocol, then? When it said every protocol, I read it as potentially every protocol, myself. I have an O-scope that can read every wire protocol too.

No, every means every. You have a tiny tiny fragment of every protocol that could ever exist or even of the ones that do. And you can't even potentially do many real protocols on an ESP. It's a tiny tiny subset. I'd suggest being honest.

Now done.

Just a ping to say that's done and waiting to be merged.
