Are Bus Pirates still being produced? If not, what fills the same role in the toolbox (device multi-tool and rapid protocol testing without code)

- octorian 6y agoI've wasted enough time getting a Bus Pirate to try and behave when I wanted to test something that I pretty much gave up. Now I just keep a random Arduino board around and push snippets of scratch code to it for the same purpose. (And I say that as someone who doesn't really use Arduino boards for the final project.)
- platz 6y agofair enough - i guess the idea of the bus pirate was that it's flow was supposed to be faster than writing code, i.e. you want to peek & poke a target more interactively or exploratory just to see how the it behaves. but Yeah if you know exactly what you want to do why not just skip right to writing code for it with the arduino.
