Add more documentation on Logic Analyzer (kefir collection) #294

Open drtrigon opened 5 years ago

drtrigon commented 5 years ago

The Logic Analyzer examples lack on documentation and use all FT245 for data transmission. Some boards like e.g. the Alhambra 2 do not have a FT245 link (e.g. the FTDI chip is not wired properly). It would be very helpful if the examples could be extended with:

As the Alhambra 2 lacks in FT245 capability I would like to modify the async code the work with RS232/USB. Any help for that would be great too.

Have you tried sigrok/pulseview software? It can use FTDI chip as 8ch logic analyzer (if you wire signal to correct pins)
