Bus Pirate 5

Introduction

The Bus Pirate is the world's best known hardware hacking / debugging / development device. Whether you're debugging hardware, tinkering with unknown devices, flashing micro-controllers, sniffing unknown protocols, side-channel attacks, prototyping new PCBs .. the Bus Pirate has you covered.

The Bus Pirate's killer feature is its built-in terminal: Instead of fighting with multiple tools, exotic protocols, frustrating voltage levels and rewriting code for every project - simply connect to the full-colour VT100 terminal.

Configure the device you're working with, whether it's a known protocol or something exotic, and send commands directly to your device : chips, sensors, etc - the Bus Pirate handles the heavy lifting - without writing a single line of code.

The Bus Pirate 5 is the culmination of over 10 years of hard work and relentless development, and features an incredibly dedicated and active community.

Key Features

• Bulldozer buffered IO - 1.2 to 5volt direct interfacing with 8 bidirectional buffered IOs

• Current measurement - Get a reality check by monitoring current use in real time
• Programmable power supply - 1 to 5volt output, 400mA max, for powering all kinds of devices
• Programmable current limit - A 0 to 500mA programmable hardware fuse sets current limits that keep your projects safe and sane
• A big colorful display - Keep track of pin assignments, voltages and current
• Color terminal and statusbar - VT100 terminal emulation for that modern 1970s feel
• Just One Button - A dedicated button for automating repetitive debug commands while you're wrist deep in circuits
