>Oh come on. All these devices are based on the Cypress reference design.
And MacOS is based on the original BSD and Android is based on Linux. Doesn't mean you can't take something already existing then improve and polish it till you can monetize it. People are willing to pay for increased UX and polish.
>Should also add that I don't live in CA, and don't drink coffee :)
You weren't the point of this, but people who scoff at a few bucks for hardware when they spend a lot more than that on daily frivolities. You know there's plenty of them out there, even here.
When I wrote "based", I meant it was pretty much a 1-1 copy of a design by Cypress (although they have all evolved since than). I dont like the idea that one particular company should sell this for a shedload and anyone buying a cheaper device from elsewhere is doing something wrong.
Saleae claimed that people buying "clones" use their desktop software without paying, which is a reasonable complaint. But with Sigrok around nobody is doing that anymore.
