Black Pill logic probe with OLED and protocol sniff snippets

A pen-shaped STM32F4 probe that shows logic level, frequency and a short UART/I2C decode on a tiny OLED.

How It Could Work

STM32F401/F411 Black Pill in a 3D-printed pen body with a needle tip (series resistor), 0.96in OLED and two buttons. Firmware samples input, estimates frequency/duty, and best-effort decodes recent UART/I2C bytes. USB CDC dumps a longer buffer. Pairs with EMBO/pillScope in the catalog.
