Each 1Gbit plane has its own cache, so data will be silently corrupted if the source and destination are on different planes. Check out the latest in the Bus Pirate forum. Henry’s pull request is here: github.com/DangerousPro...

Latest 'test' build contains: auto frequency ranging, a PIO implementation of frequency measurement that should be uniformly accurate from 2Hz to 25Mhz, and PWM implemented in PIO instead of the RP2040 hardware modules. Testers are needed before we unleash these new features on the main branch:

There's a new git repo for tutorials, scripts, and other datasources that can be loaded to the Bus Pirate's internal flash. If you make anything fun, please consider making a push request to include it in the repo:

...PWM to generate signals to observe. I lit up seeing how cool it is to capture and zoom in on the exponential decay cure when the pull-ups turn off. Grab a compiled firmware and the source here:

... it lists 7bit I2C addresses. This can be confusing because the I2C address needs to be entered as an 8bit byte on the command line. I added the original Bus Pirate search which displays 8bit addresses and labels them Read and Write. Latest firmware:

... press any key to exit. This feature is in the latest auto build.

One wire is in progress, and we may have enclosures tomorrow!

...boards to demonstrate the new features (and create new tutorials for the docs).

Download the firmware v0.1.0 from the main branch auto build thread here:

1-wire didn't make it into this release, but I'll add it next.

...latest auto build from the forum and let me know what you think.

I'll update the help and docs, and aim for a firmware release tomorrow.

When this first big milestone is out of the way it's time to see what it can do with some hardware hacking.

...please check the forum for the latest firmware. An auto build server posts fresh compiles in the forum every time new code is pushed. Grab my work in progress firmware here, or look for the 'main' branch stable for something more reliable.

One really cool thing about the Bus Pirate is that it is built around the rPI Pico 2040 microcontroller, and having access to the PIO hardware really makes this kind of thing easier!

Code for this can be found at my fork of the official BP project here: github.com/mbrugman67/B...
