[Happy Little Diodes] built a Pi Pico logic analyzer designed by [El Dr. Gusman] using the original design. But he recently had a chance to test the newest version of …read more Continue reading Pico Logic Analyzer Gets New Version
We always can use more tools for FPGA debugging, and the Manta project by [Fischer Moseley] delivers without a shadow of a doubt. Manta lets you add a debug and …read more Continue reading Manta: An Open On-FPGA Debug Interface
Last time, we looked into using a logic analyzer to decode SPI signals of LCD displays, which can help us reuse LCD screens from proprietary systems, or port LCD driver …read more Continue reading Logic Analyzers: Decoding And Monitoring
There is a lot to like about open software, and in some areas, a well-thought-out piece of software can really make a huge impact. A great example of this is …read more Continue reading Decoding the 8088
At the risk of stating the obvious, a PC is more than just its processor. And if you want to accurately emulate what’s going on inside the CPU, you’d do …read more Continue reading Bus Sniffing the Model 5150 for Better Emulation
We aren’t sure what’s coolest about [Richard Testardi’s] Flea-Scope. It costs about $13 plus the cost of making the PCB. It operates at 18 million samples per second. It also …read more Continue reading $13 Scope and Logic Analyzer Hits 18 Msps
In an ideal world, every single battery pack for power tools would use the same physical interface and speak a clearly documented protocol with chargers. Since we live in a …read more Continue reading Reverse-engineering the Milwaukee M18 Redlink Protocol
Last time, we’ve used a logic analyzer to investigate the ID_SD and ID_SC pins on a Raspberry Pi, which turned out to be regular I2C, and then we hacked hotplug …read more Continue reading Logic Analyzers: Capabilities And Limitations
Today, I’d like to highlight a tool that brings your hacking skills to a whole new level, and does that without breaking the bank – in fact, given just how …read more Continue reading Logic Analyzers: Tapping Into Raspberry Pi Secrets
