JSON Configuration Files

caution

See the latest version. This site is no longer maintained.

See the latest version for up-to-date documentation. Docs have been completely reworked and moved to a new location. The new site is more user-friendly and searchable. It's also easier for the developers to work with.

Global and mode settings will be saved and reloaded from onboard NAND flash storage. The settings are saved in simple JSON files. Configuration files can be viewed and edited from the USB disk that appears when the Bus Pirate is connected to a computer.
