We just announced the new Arduino shield: Arduino Lab - multi-functional logic analyzer and digital signal generator.
Simply place it on your Arduino and see all digital signals on the computer screen. It also can decode UART, SPI, I2C and 1-Wire interfaces.
The software is the same as HobbyLab's Disco oscilloscope/logic analyzer device and included in the price.
I started a design to do almost exactly the same thing a while back, I dropped it in favour of other stuff, glad I did now because yours looks pretty good.
I'll download the docs and have a good look. Any schematics?
I'd buy one of these in an instant, if it ran on something other than Windows. Where's the love for those of us on the Mac or Linux? That's the thing that drew me to the Arduino, was the fact that I wouldn't be tied to any one platform. It virtually guarantees this by use of open-source tools and a java codebase.
Senso:
So, yet another just pirate thingie?
Why do people keep re-inventing the wheel instead of improving it?
You could say that about just any product on earth, I suppose. The answer is, of course, to make a profit (and maybe a living) by taking a piece of market share. Basic capitalism.
I do like this offering's software suite (at least the screenshots look nice); not that it ultimately matters in my case, since I use Ubuntu (and unless this thing works well under Wine or Mono - it will be a no-go for me).
So @hobbyLab - have you tested it under Wine (or Mono - if you developed the software in .NET)? Knowing that it worked in at least one of those environments might sway me some...?
