    Why does AI have to explain everything three times - a headline, a standfirst and some intro blurb all saying what could be said in two words.

    Looks like an extremely cool concept, but I'm wary about how many bugs I'd run into trying to use it if the code has had as little effort put into it as the website.I think I'll keep just making up basic sketches when I need to work with one of these protocols - it's also nice that if I do that, when I see it work, I know I can expand functionality from there into what I need.

    Can anyone decipher the website and paste the ai;dr

    Fantastic project, love it! You have an amazing selection of supported protocols on the "wire side".I'm the co-author and project lead of SSH-Stamp:https://github.com/brainstorm/ssh-stampOur focus has been on the "network side" by running a SSH server instead of a Web Server and multiplexing protocols via SSH sessions.Our project is admittedly not as mature as the ESP32 Bit Pirate but OTOH we run with Rust Embedded and support other targets than Espressif (currently experimental on RPI Pico2 and Sipeed BL616).We need testers :D

    "every protocol"? that's pretty impressive. We should stock up on them in case aliens ever come to visit, so we can understand their communications protocol

    Was that hero unit header text supposed to be sung in the voice of Ja Rule?

    ESP32 Bit Pirate is open-source firmware that turns your device into a multi-protocol development and analysis tool, inspired by the legendary Bus Pirate.It supports sniffing, sending, scripting, and interacting with various digital protocols (I2C, UART, 1-Wire, SPI, etc.) via a serial terminal or web-based CLI. It also communicates with radio protocols like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Sub-GHz and RFID.Turn a $5 ESP32-S3 into a browser-based hardware workbench.The Bit Pirate firmware is complemented by scripting, hardware dock, extension, adapters, browser tools, documentation and practical embedded workflows to enable comprehensive hardware debugging and development with serial interfaces or Wi-Fi connectivity.https://github.com/geo-tp/ESP32-Bit-Pirate

    The author keeps saying read the README, they posted the website, so expect comments about the awful AI website.

    Can we get a normal landing page please? These AI generated pages make my eyes bleed.Anyway, I find the tiny C3 to be much more stable than other versions. It is a bit sad the very few projects support it.

    But can it print to tiny eInk?

    What the fuck is wrong with that website? It looks horrible. Why would anyone read that?

    Almost like the algorithm is listening.I have been getting into this as well. I had ChatGPT plan up a new UART adapter and similar.
