Hello Kevin,
I will certainly stick around and see what happens with the Kingst LA2016.
I got it just yesterday from Amazon, where it was billed as "Innomaker
LA2016."
It is housed in a roughly rectangular housing, which slightly tapers
between the broad faces.
At one end there are twenty test leads emerging from a twenty pin socket.
I describe it in this way because there is a complication others on the
list might be able to help me with.
I am totally blind, and have only limited access to anybody sighted who
knows anything at all about electronics.
On the broad face of the box there are legends reading:
CH0 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6 CH7 GND PWM1
CH8 CH9 CH10 CH11 CH12 CH13 CH14 CH15 GND PWM2
I have managed to read this using an app on my iPhone called SeeingAI
that can read short text of this kind.
But I am not certain which line of ten connectors is the first 8
channels, plus GND and PWM, and which is the second.
If there is a sighted person out there who can confirm for me that would
be useful.
With the box held with the bigger broad face uppermost and the leads
sprouting from the right like the tentacles of a jellyfish, I assume CH0
is the furthest lead and the top one as I face the box. I further assume
that PWM2 then must be the bottom row of tentacles and the closest to me.
I will be carrying out some tests over the weekend.
sigrok-cli represents something wonderful for me as a blind MCU hacker.
I don't have to worry about visual stuff like pulseview or KingstVIS,
and can dump tests into text files for scrutiny in the cli or further
analysis with stuff like Python scripts etc.
Here is the patch:
