Logic Sniffer Retired?

December 01, 2012, 04:08:16 am

Hi,

I received my Logic Sniffer yesterday, and have gotten it running on both Windows and Ubuntu 12.04

I am quite impressed, and I really like it. I was going to order one or two more, but according to cutedigi the Logic Sniffer has been retired. The seeedstudio website also vanished earliear today.

I understand that I can use the Papilio One instead of  the Logic Sniffer, but it only seems to support an earlier, buggier version of Sump (due to using an FTDI chip instead of a PIC for USB) - and it does not have the 5V buffer.

Does anyone know if:

1) there is a new version of the Logic Sniffer coming, if so, when

2) when seeedstudio will come back on-line

Thanks,

Bill

Logic Sniffer is not retired, production will continue as long as there is a market for it.  I should also mention, no new version is planed for the upcoming future.

And as for the software (OLS client): there's still a ton of features and other cool stuff to built, enough for filling more than several releases...

Thanks guys - I ordered two more.

I was confused by cutedigi - who said it was retired.

Logic Sniffer is very useful - I am using it more than my Hantek LA5034 which samples up to 500Msps, but only has a 2K buffer, and does not have a Linux client.
