I recently bought a cheap-ish “Zaleae [sic] Logic 16” knock-off from eBay, but it’s still a lot more expensive than most of the other cheap ones out there.
I was stoked to see it works perfectly with Saleae’s latest Logic software, and it ended up with my boss buying us all a set of real Logic Pro 8’s for work.
Their software is by far the gold standard for logic probe capture and analysis, I wonder if it would be possible to hack on this project to get it to output to Logic?
Being able to whip up quick protocol decoders in Python (which then get baked into our actual firmware as a driver by porting it to Nim in about 10 minutes of work) for some of the obscure protocols and peripherals we have to connect to has been fantastic, and Saleae’s software makes it super easy.
Would be great to get the benefits of both cheap hardware and great software but aside from the knock off in front of me showing it can be done, I’ve no idea how you’d even begin to do it!
Software-wise, there's also Sigrok, which is open, and the corresponding Pulseview UI.
I've been very happy with it, together with cheap Saleae ex2law-based clones, but I have never tried Saleae's software, so I lack a point of reference.
Sigrok is decent too, very powerful, but Logic’s UX and workflow is just so much nicer, at least in my opinion anyway. It’s protocol decoder API is quite a bit easier to use, though I did not go anywhere near as deep in that with Sigrok, to be fair.
