ESP32 Bit Pirate turns a $5 board into a browser-based hardware workbench
ESP32 Bit Pirate Hardware Hacking Kit with Web Tools That Speaks Every Protocol
ESP32 Bit Pirate is an open-source firmware ecosystem that transforms compatible ESP32-S3 boards into a multi-protocol debugging tool. It covers I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, JTAG, SWD, CAN, infrared, Sub-GHz, LoRa, Wi-Fi, BLE, and more, with browser-based tools for flashing, serial terminal, logic capture, and Python scripting. No desktop toolchain needed; any ESP32-S3 with 8 MB flash works.
Turn a $5 ESP32-S3 into a browser-based hardware workbench.

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:

Our 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

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