Walmart Classifies Logic Analyzer as Charm
« on: December 18, 2022, 02:12:46 am »
I have discovered that Walmart is selling one of those cheap 8-channel logic analyzers, but for some bizarre reason they classified it under "Womens' Bag Charms & Accessories". I'm not sure how that happened. Perhaps because it was viewed as a USB dongle? Anyway I thought it was funny and that someone here would appreciate it. Here's the link: https://www.walmart.com/ip/USB-Logic-Analyzer-Device-Various-Trigger-Modes-USB-Logic-Analyzer-For-Transmitter-For-Inter-Integrated-Circuit/274969134

From the "View seller information" link:

Business Name: Wuhan Sataliuxing Keji Youxian Gongsi

Perhaps a translation failure?

Or a prank by an employee?  I approve.

They also don't provide any information about what software to use with it. I'm surprised they find enough people to buy it, considering the only people do who are likely those who know that this probably works with the open source Sigrok/PulseView project.

Walmart probably had nothing to do with it. They're like many other places where you buy stuff online these days. It's a "marketplace". Pretty much anybody can sell there and this seller just made a mistake when they listed the item.

You guys did not get it.... It is women's logic analyzer.
Still do not get it? Let me try again:
This is analyzer of women's logic.

Now you know why enough people bought it.

Surely that is a technologically impossible device.

I believe these devices are designed to interact with the Saleae software - the newer ones have FPGAs and microcontrollers in them to 'authenticate' with the software but the older ones are just Cypress USB to GPIO chips that free run on a fast enough PC.
