 I’ve been using this multi-bus adapter for a while now. It’s proven reliable enough that I’ve recommended it to others, and I think it may as well deserve a spot in your toolkit as a genuinely useful utility device. I’ve been using this multi-bus adapter for a while now.

 +  * **UART**: works fully
 +  * **I²C**: works fully
 +  * **SPI**: works, does not support QSPI
 +
 +====== Example parts to cover ======
 +
 +  * TOF050F (UART/Modbus for switching modes and basic IO, I²C), worked on 3.3 V mode
 +  * SSD1315-based OLED display, worked on 5 V mode
 +  * Some kind of ESP32 (as I have no SPI parts in my room)
