A comment on Sigrok – a portable, cross-platform, FOSS signal analysis software suite.

For me PulseView unfortunately has been very buggy and I never really got it to work (neither with an old Saleae 8, a new Saleae Pro 16, or an FX2 clone) well and without constant crashes.

I tried on Linux & mac, but never could get it to run well. I'd be super curious to chat with someone who had a different experience on what you've been doing differently from me!

I love the idea of Sigrok, so would love to get it to work (well) for me

Not my experience. I got a cheap Sparkfun logic analyzer on a whim and it sat idle until I had a work problem that I spent a lot of WFH time debugging with it using Pulseview.

I later recommended that we buy a Saleae analyzer just in case the SF one was hiding a problem and I didn't find any substantive difference between the two.

It is my firm belief that everybody should have one of those $10 FX2 boards in their drawer, either for debugging some electronics board stuff (arduino and up), or just for learning about digital signalling. $10 and Pulseview is all you need!
