DIY Logic Analyzer

Imagesource: https://github.com/gusmanb/

Everyone who seriously deals with digital technology - especially other people's - sooner or later needs a logic analyzer. The problem: Depending on the maximum frequency, how many channels and how many samples per second are supported, such a thing can easily be the financial equivalent of a family trip to Bali. (Depends on your requirements in Bali).

Agustín Gimenez Bernad has recognized the problem and built a solution.

His DIY Logic Analyzer supports 24 channels, 100 megasamples per second, handles edge and pattern triggering and is - above all - cheap!

For around 15 bucks you get something quite serious here. If you order the not necessarily needed PCB, it gets a bit more expensive - but if even that's not competitive, I don't know what is.

The only downside: Agustín has developed his own protocol and visualization software, which unfortunately only runs on Windows so far. MacOS and Linux might come soon. (Plz)

Excellent project and a real money saver. 💶
