Logic Analyzers in Practice

Logic Analyzers in Practice: PC USB Logic Analyzers with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Co.

Step-by-step instructions guide you through the analysis of modern protocols such as I²C, SPI, UART, RS-232, NeoPixel, WS28xx, HD44780, and 1-Wire protocols. With the help of numerous experimental circuits based on the Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino Uno, and the Bus Pirate, you will learn the practical application of popular USB logic analyzers.

All the experimental circuits presented in this book have been fully tested and are fully functional. The necessary program listings are included—no special programming or electronics knowledge is required for these circuits. The programming languages used are MicroPython and C, along with the development environments Thonny and Arduino IDE.

This book uses several models of flexible and widely available USB logic analyzers and shows the strengths and weaknesses of each price range.

You will learn about your work criteria and find the right device.

Whether Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Raspberry Pi Pico, the example circuits shown allow you to get started quickly with protocol analysis and can also serve as a basis for your own experiments.

After reading this book, you will be familiar with all the important terms and contexts, conduct your own experiments, and analyze protocols independently, culminating in a comprehensive knowledge set of digital signals and protocols.
