Owner notes on bench tools, measurements, and debugging techniques.
Trigger settings that time out, noise immunity failures, probe grounding gotchas. The lessons from my first month of real protocol debugging.
Building a multi-sensor data logger, the I2C bus started dropping packets. Here's exactly how I diagnosed the problem using the Innomaker LA1010 and PulseView.
Setting up PulseView, configuring triggers, and decoding your first I2C transaction on the Innomaker LA1010. A practical walkthrough.
Head-to-head: the Hantek DSO5072P (USB scope) versus the Innomaker LA1010 (budget logic analyzer) debugging I2C pull-up failures. One tool won immediately.
USB oscilloscopes like the Hantek DSO5072P are affordable and portable, but they crumble when you need to decode digital protocols. I found out the hard way.
