Saleae Logic Tool

12/18/2013

0 Comments

 
I have a few basic tools that I use for my projects such as an Oscilloscope, Voltmeter and various hand tools but having a logic analyzer would be helpful. I got a chance to evaluate a LOGIC16 module from Saleae and I'm currently putting it through its paces.

The installation was easy, just a USB cable connection and a few jumper wires with mini grippers connected to the main black box. Everything was included in the handy zipper case.

The software was a free download and installed easily on my iMac. I was able to get it to capture a simple flashing LED signal on a PIC12F683. This was handy at my desk so it became the initial test circuit. I ran into a few issues that I couldn't find answers for in the pdf manual but a quick email got me a just as quick response with all the answers. Some of it was in the manual but I didn't see it.

I have a lot more evaluation to do with it so I'll have more details in a future blog post but so far I think this is a nice tool. I'm using the 16 channel version which costs $299 but the 8 channel for $149 is quite attractive for the home hobbyist. I do a lot with just a 2 channel digital scope so having 8 channels seems large enough for most of my projects. Check it out at Saleae.com.
