Arduino Single Channel Logic Analyser

Most of them look pretty close, it dies on SPI and 1-wire by the looks of it. But the SPI is 2MHz isn't it? No chance there.

1-wire is pretty rubbish but with SPI you can at least see some structure. I think the ISR is taking to long and missing fine detail. Maybe the code can be optimized to improve this or maybe add a separate high speed capture mode.

I've been experimenting with the Input Capture Mode of the timers for fast capturing of a single boolean signal and wrote an article about it. You can capture pulse-widths of 3µs with an accuracy of 65ns with the sketch attached to the article.

The article itself is in German, but the screenshots and the code (with english comments) should be enough to understand how it works:

If one does not need the high refresh rate - that is, an update every few seconds would suffice - and if you need logging (Excel or notepad) then my USB HID logger may be your answer.  Plus, it picks up the analog, too. 

If you do not wish to mess with V-USB, use a Leonardo.
