I'm after a commerical handheld logic probe with fine point for pic smd circuit testing. I would prefer one with some sort of built in serial analyser, is there such a thing? And an lcd screen to display the waveform/data.

I already have a salea logic analyser. (Great bit of kit)

Any recommendations from the Pb collective please. :confused:

yes but I never had your specific requirement. Not sure if it exist at all. The closer I know is Smart Tweeers... but it's not even a logic probe so...

In theses cases... DIY ;) Check PicAxe forum (cough)

Tool trucks used to sell a little battery powered test light, no ground lead which only triggered on a positive voltage, no bells or whistles, about $25 back in the day . . . Or as Steve said roll your own. If you do, it might make for an interesting project / article.
