Bummer. We use those at work.

Than is a bummer, although they have not been selling the Basic Stamp Logic Analyzer for years, I still have one working unit.

Thanks, Seairth! Something else to track down for my collection!

Good luck finding one! I have been trying for five years to get another, but then again, you are the ebay search guru.

I even emailed CWAV to get the code, but that went on deaf ears.

Attached is the zip file that came with the product. Chris Savage did some good Application notes for Serial Protocol.

I have one also. Note that it's not limited to use with a Basic Stamp only.

SERIOUSLY?!?! Erco - you didn't know about this little gem of a debug tool?

I am SHOCKED I tell you! SHOCKED!!!

Unfortunately, the BSLA didn't sell enough for Parallax to keep the product alive. I own a number of them - and again unfortunately - smoked a number of input pins, so I have only one left. I bought the Cypress USB chip thinking I could have the rework people in the office replace it, but it's buried beneath the piggy-back socket that the BasicStamp plugs into.

For those that still have and use the BSLA, go here and download BSLA Hack. I'll let you read the features provided: http://www.dlwrr.com/electronics/tools/bsla/hack/

...well, well, well - there ya' go! Thanks for resurrecting that Rick. BTW - that project is how I blew the input pins. Seems too much static is possible that winds up damaging the input pins.
