Perhaps my favorite debugging tool though is the Saleae Logic. It's a does digital logic and analog in one and has a lot of protocol support. https://www.saleae.com/ https://www.saleae.com/

I wouldn't buy a "real" Saleae though. Insanely overpriced these days. You can buy clones for literally a 50th of the price.

  Overpriced relative to the COGS of the hardware, and yet a bargain compared to what you get from any other test equipment company for the same money. The magic is in the software, and I’d much rather pay for that excellent software via expensive hardware than go back to a pre-Saleae world.

    I guess. I haven't used their software but I watched a brief video and I don't know if I'd want to pay £400 for it if it was my own money. PulseView seems comparable in capability. I does still feel overpriced if you ask me. You can get a full Bluetooth Analyser with actually advanced software (I mean there's a huge difference between writing a protocol analyser for SPI or I2C or typical things that run on them, and Bluetooth) for like £1k. But I guess it one of those things that is aimed at people who aren't using their own money so they make the most money by charging enterprise prices.

  I’ve bought several real ones over the years. They are great it isn’t worth wasting time with shitty debugging tools. They cost more than they used too sure but they are also massively useful and a great bargain for the features you get.

  I have clones and I have the real one. The clones are a copy of the Saleae units from 10 years ago. They’re not at all comparable to the current high-end ones. One of the killer features of the current ones is the ability to also record an analog trace. It’s fantastic when you need to record minutes of something that misbehaves electrically every once in a while.
