Bus Pirate script for 8×32 LED matrix
will_j posted a Bus Pirate script that controls a Sure Electronics 8×32 LED marquee: Here’s a quick and dirty perl script to display ‘BPv3’ on a Sure Electronics 8×32 LEd Matrix display. You can also use a 16×24 display if you change the second command code to 44 from 40. Any improvements gratefully received – […]
Binary raw-wire mode
See the latest version in the documentation wiki. Raw-wire binary mode provides access to the Bus Pirate’s raw 2- and 3-wire libraries. This new mode will make it easier to script operations on arbitrary serial protocols used by devices like smart cards, shift registers, etc. A completed raw-wire binary mode will be in the next […]
Binary mode scripts roundup
Here’s a roundup of the binary mode scripts we’ve collected so far. Submit your scripts by the end of this weekend for a Bus Pirate probe cable kit. blue.zener wrote a Ruby class to interface the Bus Pirate, and demonstrated it with a Nokia 3310 LCD. audiohacked recently updated pyBusPirate, a comprehensive Python interface library. […]
Bus Pirate: Binary UART mode
See the latest version on the documentation wiki. The Bus Pirate’s new binary modes provide a consistent, logical way to script actions from Python, Perl, etc. We already introduced the new binary bitbang, SPI, and I2C modes. This post outlines the binary UART functions. A UART is like a PC serial port. Binary mode will […]
Python Bus Pirate binmode library
Audiohacked developed pyBusPirateLite, a Python interface to the new Bus Pirate binmode. It includes libraries that manage each mode (bitbang, SPI, I2C), and an example SPI EEPROM reader built on the libraries. Download a copy from our example scripts folder, or get the latest code at Audiohacked’s git repository. You’ll also need pySerial if you […]
Free probe cables for your binmode scripts
We want your scripts! The Bus Pirate has three new binary access modes that can be scripted from a PC: I2C, SPI, and bitbang. There’s already some basic Perl demos in the example scrips folder. If you script something for any of the new modes, in any language, we’d like to host it with the […]
Bus Pirate binmode Perl test script
Here’s a Perl script that demonstrates the new Bus Pirate binary bitbang mode. You’ll need Perl with Win32::SerialPort or Device::SerialPort, and a Bus Pirate with firmware v2.4 or later. Edit the script to use the correct serial port number and device. We chose Perl because we had never used it before, and we weren’t in […]
