Open Bench Logic Sniffer/es
From DP
***UNDER CONSTRUCTION***
Read about the Open Logic Sniffer hardware here.
- Available now for $50, including worldwide shipping
- Now available in the Gadget Factory shop (US),SparkFun (US),eHaJo(DE), Watterott electronic (DE),SK Pang (UK)
- A 5volt tolerant buffer is available for the 16channels of the 'wing' header ($15)
Open Bench Logic Sniffer is an open source logic analyzer. It's designed to support theSUMP logic analyzer software at the lowest possible cost. This project is a collaboration between theGadget Factory and Dangerous Prototypes.

Logic Analyzer Software
Logic analyzer client software controls the Logic Sniffer hardware and displays the pretty logic graph.
SUMP fork
We recommend this SUMP client.
Multi-platform Java client. A version of the SUMP client actively developed by Jawi in the forum.
- Alternative Java client homepage
- You'll need Java
- Support and bug reports
- Releases and requests
- Logic Sniffer 102 documents some features of the client
- Reset issues with Arduino
Other SUMP-compatible clients
The original software for the SUMP core used in the Logic Sniffer is a multi-platform Java application.
There are several other clients that support the SUMP protocol. They are in various stages of development.
- Overview of several SUMP-compatible clients
- Raphihouri’s Windows/.Net client
- LogicAnalyzer (Java/RCP)
- Yet another client (Python) (Forum thread)
- Sigrok (no release yet)
