New Scope Demoboard from Batronix

[tautech]

Thank you.

Damnit, I was looking at the price when bought with the scope (which I already have). So it's 379, not 279. I don't think I will spend that much

Please advise purchase date as you may be eligible for the promotional discount on the option bundle SDS2XP-BND

Contact your supplier if you feel they should have offered you this bundle at time of purchase.

Thank you!

June 30, 2021. I always thought I waited long enough to buy things. But now I see I bought too soon

Or too late to miss an earlier promotion. 
A while back there was a free BW upgrade plus option bundle for a great price also.
Further back SDS2104X Plus was on special for $999 but that was short-lived.

Looks like a DIY LA probe is now your best cheap option so go study that thread I linked.

I paid a fair price for the scope, not much more than what you mentioned. I have all the licenses on my SDS2504X

It's too hard to get parts here, and I don't necessarily want a logic analyzer for the scope unless I can get it at a reasonable price.

Otherwise, it seems like a USB logic analyzer is more for the money. However, many choices in that space and also hard for us to buy from outside the EU now.

As H.O mentioned, you don't need the LA probes to decode UART, I2C, or I2S.  (or SPI for that matter)

You are right, but I did not understand what he meant.

[Martin72]

Somehow, none of this has too much to do with the demo board.

[audiotubes]

You are right, it was just a demo

Sorry for the interrupt

[Martin72]

No problem, I just wanted to mention it.

[egonotto]

Hallo,

Pico Technology also has a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Training and Demo Board that looks like the Batronix board to me. But the manual uses PicoScope 7 for the examples.

Best regards

lol, yeah, that's the same board. I bet they had Batronix change the secret message to picoscope instead. 🤣

Or it came from another source entirely, configured to individual specs and rebranded accordingly.

Should be some clues to origin in its code.

Fair point. Anybody wanna start placing bets?

Martin has a close relationship with Batronix.....he should ask some questions.....

You can´t deny the relationship...

Martin has a close relationship with Batronix...

Maybe one of Batonix will drop by here...

As you have already identified through images and description: We've been distributing PicoScopes for six months now and our partnership has recently expanded in the opposite direction. It's awesome to see that we're all on the same page when it comes to valuing quality tools. 

Moreover, Pico Technology has created a customized manual specifically designed for use with the PicoScopes.

[Martin72]

Ah, that was fast...
So you "make" this board for pico ?

[Andre77]

We didn't actually want to publish this, but since the photos are clear and you've already recognised it anyway: Yes. 

[Andre77]

We are happy to be able to contribute to the really smart Picoscope team and their products.   

[axantas]

This is the kind of statement that makes Batronix and the smart people there even more trustworthy and likeable. 

[Martin72]

Yes, they don't just sell measuring equipment, they also know what they are offering...

I always find it very pleasant when you talk to people who know exactly what you are talking about and can react accordingly.
What I find a pity about the demo board is that they couldn't keep the price below €200 in the long term.
In the beginning, at least a lot of people "here" ordered the board, which I thought was great, because we all have the same source here, so it's easier to understand the problems/measurement situations of other users.
A board as a reference, so to speak.
So please make the board more affordable again.

You're probably right. As this is a really great forum (and there are so many great people here) we have set up a coupon code.

With the coupon code "EEVblog" you can get the demo board in the Batronix online shop for the introductory price of 159 Euro + shipping + VAT again. The shipping costs + VAT are calculated by the online shop depending on the country of delivery.

We could also have called the coupon code "ThanksToMartin72", but that would certainly have confused some people. 

[Martin72]

Hi
Andre77,
Excellent! 

Martin

[KungFuJosh]

Or offer both options, since he probably sold more of those boards than anybody else. 🤣

[Martin72]

But when I look in my wallet, I don't see any of that.

Can we get a Picoscope version for that price?
