-The BusVoodoo is a multi-protocol debugging adapter.
-This tool allows to quickly communicate with various other electronic devices.

-==== history ====
-Whenever I go to conferences I like to take apart devices I find there.
-The problem is that I can't bring always bring all the adapters: UART, JTAG, I2C, ... there are just too many, and in the end I never have the right one.
-The alternative I found was just to take a development board (e.g. the cheap and compact [[stm32f1xx#blue_pill|blue pill]]) with a general purpose micro-controller (a feature-rich [[stm32f1xx|STM32F1]]).
-This comes with peripherals for the major protocols (UART, SPI, I2C) and for the rest I just to implement them is software ([[https://git.cuvoodoo.info/stm32f1/tree/lib|here my collection]]).
-The drawback is that I need to program the micro-controller every time, reference manual at hand, and this takes at least 30 not so exiting minutes.
-Now come the BusVoodoo.
-The BusVoodoo is a USB adapter with pre-programmed support for numerous protocols, allowing to communicate with other device without hassle.
-It appears as a serial device.
-Use a terminal emulation program to connect to it (e.g. [[https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom|picocom]] for Linux, [[http://www.putty.org/|putty]] for Windows), configure the protocol using the built-in menu, are ready you are to communicate with other devices.
