Revision as of 22:58, 3 October 2017

The fx2grok family consists of four devices (fx2grok-flat, fx2grok-tiny, fx2grok-bga, fx2grok-wide) of very small, Open Hardware FX2-based logic analyzers.

The schematics and layouts are done from scratch in Kicad, and are released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 or CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.

Using the open-source fx2lafw firmware (and sigrok, of course) you can use these devices as 8-channel(Or 16-channel, for the fx2grok-wide) logic analyzers.

Device comparison

Note: All of this is work in progress and might change at any time!

1 Historical reasons.
2 Optional goal: Make a tiny 3D-printed enclosure, and/or an "enclosure" using resin (example) with the device (including probes) ideally looking similar to the sigrok logo in the end.

What is NOT the goal?

As you may know, there are tons of FX2-based logic analyzers (and tons of clones) already. There's not much use in creating yet another "standard" device.

The goal of this little hobby project is thus NOT to make a better device, or to make a cheaper device, or anything like that. The only goal is to have it as tiny as possible (it's more of a "just for fun" project).

Status

Work in progress, untested, may or may not work!

The first PCB, fx2grok-tiny 0.1, has been found to be non-working. A fixed 0.2 version is currently being worked on.

Download

The schematics, PCB layout and Gerber files are available from the fx2grok git repository: 

$ git clone git://sigrok.org/fx2grok
