PICkit Serial Analyzer
April 18, 2007
It appears that Microchip will be making the PICkit Serial Analyzer available after May 8th, at a list cost of US$49.99 (with demo board). It’ll read and write I2C, SMBus, SPI, and USART.
I may have to acquire one of these instead of a much larger scale logic analyzer.
UPDATE: Gur, I’m dumb. I just read the docs and realized that it’s not a analyzer, more a USB tool which will communicate as I2C, SMBus, SPI, and USART. I can’t use it for sniffing / capture.
you need an oscilloscope. it will do it all.
this is just a bit twiddler.
Ha, I’m not that bright. :P
Unless you’re talking about a really shiny DSO. I’ve got an analog scope here, but it doesn’t store / decode anything.
What I really need is a logic analyzer like the USBee or its offshoot the BSLA.
i personally have admired the USBee for quite some time. i really wanted a AX but that DX is looking pretty good.
however, i think circuit cellar had an article on making one. something to consider.
Yeah. That looks really nice. And there’s a good chance that it’s just software differences between the two. And everyone knows that software costs nothing and should be free.
;)
I’ll try and dig up that article… Maybe we could get a couple people together and get some boards made for them.
