The difference between salease and sigrok + fx2 is exactly this — one is polished but lacks features, another isn't that stable but has more functionality. And I'm sure saleae people spent a lot of time chasing dozens of small bugs that only occur on some computers in some edge cases. Fixing these bugs actually makes hardware and software a good choice for people choosing a product. That was my point. Writing a quality driver is still harder than writing one that sort of works. Also, I find it hard to rely on a prediction that floodgates will actually open. Maybe it's worth trying to collaborate with Chinese vendors directly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ sigrok-devel mailing list sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel
