I guess I didn't mention SigRok, which I should have. If you don't feel like buying something even remotely sounding 'ripped off', the Saleae-popularized devices are essentially a single-chip solution by Cypress (FX2LP), so grab a one of these instead (which should at least present a small roadblock to using the Saleae software): $13 China http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cypress-CY7C68013A-EZ-USB-FX2LP-USB2-0-Developement-Board-/171052308693 $11 US http://www.ebay.com/itm/CY7C68013A-56-FX2LP-EZ-USB-2-0-EEPROM-Logic-Analyzer-Developement-Board-Module-/131261408751 Or even these FTDI FT232H-based boards, AdaFruit is undercutting FTDI's $25 dev-board now at $15: http://www.adafruit.com/product/2264 more info: http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2014/11/12/new-product-adafruit-ft232h-breakout-general-purpose-usb-to-gpiospii2c/ Here's a primer, bonus they have a Python library that is super-easy to get up and running with the more advanced features of the FT232H: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft232h-breakout/overview _______________________________________________ dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list [email protected] http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotpdx-blabber
