Hackaday reader [JumperOne] was in need of a logic probe that he could use to reliably test some tiny .5mm pitch IC pins. The probe that came with his oscilloscope was a bit too big and not near sharp ...

As I mentioned in my recent columns on the topic of adding pull-up or pull-down resistors to the inputs of unused or partially used logic gates and functions (see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), I was ...

Paired with the 16900A logic analysis system, the E8045B logic analysis probe promises extensive visibility into the Pentium 4 processor in the 775-land package. The probe interfaces the logic ...

Mark Henderson of Long Beach, CA has started a “Kickstarter” program for a debug tool that he says, “will be the first tool you’ll use when chasing issues in your electronic product”. He calls it “tiq ...

When testing circuits with a logic probe, it is sometimes difficult to watch the LEDS on the probe to determine the logic state. With this probe the logic states are audible. This probe is designed ...

This logic probe can be selected to operate on TTL or CMOS logic levels, depending on switch S1. A string of resistors associated with switch S1 sets the threshold levels for a window comparator ...

We live in a day when it is very inexpensive to buy an oscilloscope, especially one with modest performance that hooks to a laptop. However, there was a time when even a surplus scope was out of reach ...
