Hi,
....It's surprising how far one can get without a
scope
or a logic analyzer. I'd recommend, though, that you put
together a "pulse sniffer"--little more than a one-shot
driving an LED to "stretch" pulses....
You can build one of these things into a Magic Marker
case
with a nice sharp probe on the tip.
<GRIN> What, like a logic probe...?
I don't actually have a logic analyser myself (annoyingly), and tend to
reach for my logic probe long before I resort to digging out my 'scope. I
find mine indispensible.
If the OP is in the UK, then Maplins do a nice one for ?15 (which is less
than I paid for mine back in 1980).
TTFN - Pete.
