So i might have a look at the Molex SFF8087 cable pico uses for their LA probes at some point
<azonenberg>
it looks like it might be higher grade than the one i've been testing with MAXWELL
<d1b2>
<theorbtwo> Hm. I wonder if there's any advantage in making them cross-compatable, or contrarywise, danger in not doing so (the same way you are avoiding using usb-c for grossly incompatable things).
<azonenberg>
That's something to look into
<azonenberg>
Although it's tricky because i dont have any kind of ID capability on the current prototypes
<azonenberg>
the assumption was there's no way you'd plug a LA probe into a hard drive backplane
<azonenberg>
it's unlikely enough that cross-mating was not something i worried about
<azonenberg>
But i wasn't aware Pico was using the same connector
<azonenberg>
I fully expect it's power/control plus LVDS
<azonenberg>
so the big question is if they have power on the same sideband pins i do
<azonenberg>
if not, cross-mating is almost certainly going to be dangerous
<azonenberg>
Unless my hotplug detection prevents that
<azonenberg>
I may have a chat with my contacts at pico and inquire about the pinout
<azonenberg>
But before i do any of that, I want to get at least basic analog waveform capture for the picoscope working
<azonenberg>
it should only be a day or two of work. Their API is quite straightforward
