works great
These work surprisingly well for the price. Using the PulseView app it was easy to analyze serial, can bus, etc protocols as long as you have the data rate a little higher than the bus bitrate. Bought a second one to keep in my mobile toolbox.

Good value for money, works with FarProbe
Awesome little logic analyzer. I've started using them as a regular part of travel toolbox - and recommending my clients to just get one to help me diagnose design issues remotely.I've co-founded FarProbe to make these easier to use for technicians. By using our software, you avoid stepping on Saleae's toes with their commercial product (it's not licensed for third-party analyzers like this one), nor PulseView that can be unintuitive to install for less experienced users. Check it out!

A cheap but useful logic analyzer
If you want a really cheap logic analyzer that still performs this is a safe bet -- it's basically a cheap Saleae clone -- and works well both with Salease's Logic software and PulseView. It can take some work to get working by installing the right drivers with Zidag so it might not be the most user-friendly but once working it performs decently for the price.My complaints are a lack of documentation, there should be a plug adapter that fits the device better rather than 8 stray wires (I couldn't find any adapters for it anywhere), and the potential difficulty in getting the right drivers installed and recognized.

Works great on Windows after proper setup -- super value.
So far it's great and you really can't beat the price. I'm using it to debug some ESP8266 work on Windows. Here's what I did to get this up and running on Windows 10:(1) Install PulseView software (it's free). You can find it by googling PulseView and it'll come up under the sigrok domain name in the wiki. Navigate to Downloads, scroll down to Windows, and select the appropriate pulseview nightly build installer. (I used 64 bit.) Then install the software. This also installs the Zadig USB driver installation tool.(2) Plug in the logic analyzer -- it'll probably show up as an unrecognized device.(3) From the Start menu, type Zadig to run the driver installer, select the unrecognized device. Click Edit to change the name to something you recognize like Comidox Logic Analyzer. Be sure WinUSB is selected and click Install. This part can take a few minutes.(4) From the Start menu, type PulseView. At the top, click where it says Demo Device, change the driver to fx2lafw, choose USB, and then Scan for devices. Select Saleae Logic with 8 Channels and click OK.(5) Hook up the wires -- don't forget GND -- and click Run in the software to start capturing.

Handy mobile digital scope with nice software support!
For the money, a great buy. I have made several decoded captures in signals which have been verified by two much more expensive scopes. This is a great tool to carry around for quick captures and decodes on the go which is what I bought it for. Also, it is much appreciated that Salae continues to support this product in their software. The original product that this clone is made from is not even sold by them anymore. I have also used this scope with sigrok and it operates as intended. Will buy again if I break it.

Performs exactly as advertised, good value at this price point
Very handy as a quick and highly portable analyzer for field work. Well supported with Pulseview software on Linux, Mac and WIndows (there's also an Android version, but last I checked it was unstable and terrible.)A couple caveats, to be expected in an entry-level device: It will in fact capture data at the advertised rate, but your USB bus is a limiting factor. If USB performance is short of perfect, you will not realize full speed. This analyzer has a decent set of triggering options, and once triggered essentially grabs a buffer of a specified size, at a specified sample rate, and transfers it to the host PC for analysis.The Pulseview software has a GUI and command-line component, and development libraries. A wide variety of decode functions are implemented, for pretty much every common serial bus protocol and some rather uncommon ones. The command-line component makes it easy to write scripted operations for automated capture and test functions, and the dev libraries make it possible to roll your own GUI and analysis functions, add custom protocol decodes, etc.This is a good tool to have in a kit bag, and at this price point it's an excellent intro tool for beginners and also one that more experienced users can connect to strange or dangerous circuits without fear of damaging a very expensive instrument.It'd be a little nicer if the included wire set came with test clips rather than just header sockets, but it's easy enough to buy a better one and connect it.

Perfect clone of the original Saleae 8 channel (10x cheaper)
Works perfectly the Saleae app. Just like the original saleae it can not really capture at 24Mhz, but 16 Mhz is just fine for I2C and most things you will do with Arduino. I had the original one, but misplaced it.The screenshot shows it using the Saleae app and the I2C bus (on a Mac) with the output toggling below.I did have to make a new cable, as the one that comes with, well it not really even a cable.

Too good to be true, but it is true.
When I was in College we had free reign of the lab, except for the logic analyzer. Since the logic analyzer cost well over 100K USD, it required a bit of paperwork to be able to use. The fact that I now own a logic analyzer and it cost me ~8 USD is just insane to me. For the small, low-bandwidth, projects that most hobbyists do, this thing is great. Saleae's software + this device "just work" for me on my Linux box. I'm trying to figure out how to throw Saleae some cash to show my support, but they seem to be pretty cool with hobbyists casually using it in this way. Overall, this thing is an incredibly powerful piece of lab equipment for under 10 USD. Stop reading reviews and just get one and see if it does what you need.
