BusForge documentation

Pinouts, the open log format, filtering, and host integration notes for BusForge.

Last updated 28 June 2026

Documentation in preparation

BusForge documentation is being written alongside the hardware. This page will grow as sections are validated — we would rather publish a correct section late than a wrong one early.

Planned sections

  • Connector pinouts (USB-C, CAN DE-9, expansion header)
  • The open log format and how to parse it
  • Configuring hardware and software filters
  • Streaming to a host over USB
  • Firmware update procedure

Available now

Nothing here is final yet. For current progress and provisional figures, follow the development log. If you need a specific detail to evaluate BusForge for your work, get in touch and we will prioritise documenting it.
