The Bus Pirate v3.6a is a tool for troubleshooting and communication between a PC and any embedded device. It supports various protocols and voltages from 0-5.5VDC, which saves time during early prototyping. The device is controlled by typing commands into a terminal on your computer and it also features a bootloader for easy firmware updates. The main components of the Bus Pirate are the PIC24FJ64 processor and a USB-to-Serial chip, and it has a labeled 0.1″ pitch 2×5 pin header for standardization.

Note: We sell a handy cable to connect the Bus Pirate to the system you are developing, debugging, or reverse engineering.

Note: This product is a collaboration with Ian Lesnet. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support and continued development.
