# geo-tp/ESP32-Bit-Pirate

> Firmware for ESP32-S3 that turns the board into a multi-protocol tool for digital and radio protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, JTAG, CAN, BLE, Wi-Fi, RFID, Sub-GHz, etc.) via USB serial or web CLI. Inspired by Bus Pirate, it targets developers, debuggers, and security researchers.

- Magnitude: 1.9 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 6,275 total · +9 stars measured 2026-10-29, 00:09–12:18 UTC, ≈ 17 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Dump and analyze EEPROM or Flash over SPI/I2C
- Sniff CAN bus or UART traffic for device debugging
- Record and replay infrared signals to control appliances

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-29 (UTC), 00:09–12:18: 6266 → 6275 stars (+9). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +17 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 1.5× that of the previous week and a half.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 543
- Issues and pull requests: 184
- Watchers: 67
- Average over the last week: 15 per day
- Usual pace: 14 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v1.8 (2026-10-11)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-29 12:24 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
