So you can start the bus pirate with:

sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Bus Pirate Pinout: Check that this is your probe cable as there are two different types
Bus Pirate Pinout: Check that this is your probe cable as there are two different types

You will be presented with an interface like:

HiZ>

Hit the question mark key to see the menu

UART

Press m to change mode

HiZ>m

Then hit 3 for UART

(1)>3

Then follow the prompts to set the baud rates and other values. For the final option, I usually select the output type to be Normal.

After you have followed the prompts you will be left with something that looks like:

UART>

Enter:

UART>(2)

And you should be able to read the UART data.
