Hi DIY
I just used a digital analyzer in my Embedded Systems class, and literally fell in love with it (pic related). Anyway, the price is not affordable for me.
What would you recommend as a cheap alternative, considering I would use it to analyze max 100MHz digital signals and to make some basic analog sensors readings (piezo sensors, ...)?

>Not getting the Analog discovery 2
ayy
My university had this deal going with Digilent where the discovery 2 was 75 dollars or something, plus free parts.
Shit is so cash, good luck in getting one.

you can buy any cheap chinese logic analyzer, (https://www.aliexpress.com/item//32328690865.html)
they're basically just an adc and fpga in a box; all the magic is in the software and luckily salea offers a free download of theirs https://www.saleae.com/downloads
if you don't want to buy a ripoff the DSLogic pro is also a good product and it comes with it's own software

This IS the most affordable option. You won't find anything cheaper.

I got the student deal with the free parts kit for my analog discovery. I wasn't enrolled in any classes. I emailed them and asked about it and they told me just to put my student email address in the form. If you're cool with needing a computer to run the thing, then you won't find a cheaper device for the job.
What is a digital analyzer? Seems cool. I just enrolled into EE and had digital logic classes but I've only used an FPGA and their shitty proprietary software to simulate stuff.

Did you ever work with a digital signal probe in your software? That's what a logic analyzer does.

Oh that sounds nice

Just be warned, the saleae clones don't work with the newest version of the saleae software.
