Saleae Logic Analyzer

[oxoocoffee]

Hello

I stumbled upon your site while looking for USB logic analyzer. I found one you your blogs and you mentioned Saleae Logic Analyzer. I am thinking about getting one for myself to help with I2C, SPI, URT and CAN Bus debugging.
Sounds like you are happy camper with 8 channels version. I am thinking about getting 16 channels version to lest me for a while. Do you have any videos how it works? Can you share what you like and do not like about it?
I see that the latest software version is 1.2.10. If you do not make any videos would you mind at some point creating one? I looked all over the net for such videos and could not find anything "detail How to". I did read Saleae user manual but it sounds like it is for users who are quite familiar with Logic Analyzers. I am software guy by trade interested in hardware now.

Quick look over your sire .... Impressive idea/work!!!!

Thank you

Overall the "Logic" software is very easy to use. However, I do have a series on test equipment planned, including logic analyzers. Probably be out in 3-4 months though.

I would absolutely buy the 16 Bit (or better) version.

I have both and while the 8 Bit is great for lots of things, there are still times when you need to see 8 data bits and a few other control signals.

The 8 bit version can be had relatively cheaply on eBay but spend the extra bucks and get the 16, you will be happier in the end.
