@tubetime Reminds me of the E&L TTL test rigs. Is there documentation on this thingy somewhere? @johanneshoff they're little machined pin sockets that are slightly larger than the ones used in the IC sockets. perfect for breadboard jumpers and resistor leads. mill-max makes them. the exact part number will go into the GitHub once I get that going @tubetime Awesome! I'll keep an eye out. It's like the missing link between breadboards and PCBs. @tubetime Great you've made these available! If some are ordering boards and want to share, please let me know. |
this little guy turns the 8-bit value into hex! it's also configurable: you can flip the digits upside down for when you plug it into the left side of your breadboard. it can also trigger and latch data on the rising or falling edge of the optional trigger pulse, it can be level or edge sensitive, and you can set it to "single shot" capture a single value.
