Nothing too pro, just wanted to make sure everything was covered.

Can you show pics of the Sugru job? I’m always paranoid of exposed circuits. I was thinking about Sugru or a carving a case out of a block of a acrylic on my mini-mill.

You read the data but you don’t really understand until it is right in front of you. It is small but awesome. I can’t believe the functionality and quality. This will be a mainstay in working on my projects. I plan to buy an Xminilab also. You guys really out to stock them too, as I prefer to buy from a constant source. Great find and a good job on the video that convinced me to invest in it.

Yeah, just one tiny problem - 256 samples? Going to be pretty hard to get any decent troubleshooting info from that in a lot of cases.

This coming year? How cool is that! Living in Tulsa, I’ve been wanting to add lightning sensors to my weather station gear. Can’t wait!

I am sure people have seen this already, but its not been mentioned here yet:

Any plans to eventually stock the hand-held version after they are out of development? I have one coming already from the Kickstart, but I am sure its something more people would be interested in.

a compact Oscilloscope,waveform generator and logic analyzer with a small yet readable oled screen and a usb interface. this looks like one awesome product for a awesome price. perfect for any prototyping. il be sure to get one of these at the next convenience :D

Lightning detector chip? Please tell me more :). Sounds interesting

I, too, suggested this beast in an email to Nate dated 3/11/2011. At this rate, SparkFun should be carrying the lightning detector chip I also recommended some time in 2014!

I find It humorous that they’re now offering this $49 cutie only a week and a half after I finally broke down and ordered a bigger scope from Saelig. I might still grab one of these as I think it would be delicious built into an electric guitar stomp box for visual display of signal processing adjustments & etc.

Here’s a video of Gabe demoing tonnes of different uses for the Xprotolab. Amazing little device. edit: forgot link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TGUpw2GqVY&feature=share&list=UUaY8ivcmToCPXCtEj6fHxjw

The bulleted description outlines exactly what it is: logic analyzer, oscilloscope, and AWG.

I don’t really get what this is; it would be helpful to see a video of it in action.

Could you post a photo of the board on a breadboard? Could be useful for displaying the size in a more intuitive way.

I got one of these a few months back, lovely machines. Be careful, though, I killed it by accidentally shorting out the DC pump inverter . Replacing that component and recalibrating fixed it, but I got nervous about accidental shorts, so I ended up potting it in sugru. I now have a red one and a yellow one with nice rubberised finishes.

Sweet! I suggested stocking these a few months ago - thanks! Really neat device, though this looks like a more updated version of what I have.
