SPIDriver

Beschrijving

SPIDriver by ExCamera Labs provides USB control of SPI-based hardware for authorised device assessment, firmware work, debugging and electronics research. Its built-in colour display presents live SPI activity while also showing electrical measurements from the connected target.

Key features

• Controls SPI devices over USB for testing, programming, debugging and development.
• Live logic-analyser display for SPI traffic.
• Real-time monitoring of voltage, current, temperature and uptime.
• High-side current measurement for the connected target device.
• Dedicated 3.3 V and 5 V power outputs for target hardware.
• Up to 470 mA output current for suitable connected devices.
• Two auxiliary output signals, A and B.
• Open-source hardware and firmware.
• Colour-coded jumper kit and standard 0.1-inch header connections.
