Debugging USART using Saleae logic probe

[richard]

the saleae can just as easily miss pulses as anything else if the sample rate is too low, re's need a high rate i use 12-16 Ms/S to be sure

Nah, I just rechecked with a setting as fast as it goes and the encoder is acting up:

- slight movement of shaft affects other circuit,
- missing pulses on 2nd circuit.

I'll have new EC11 PCBs coming in a week (silkscreen of 1st batch is wrong - D'OH! ), I'll test a few other EC11 double-shafts then.

It's not like I'm lacking tasks and chores to do until then.

It seems the USART analyser (Async Serial) has been updated since I last used it - the formatting has changed a bit.

Again proved invaluable to see if my data was being sent properly.

I love that feature of right-click on the red line of text, so I can quickly switch from Decimal to ASCII.
