They can also be used as digital storage oscilloscopes, so if you don't have an oscilloscope they are definitely worth the purchase price right there. If you do much tinkering on electronic devices, you absolutely need an oscilloscope.
Got sidetracked for a few days but wanted to thank you again for this incredible information. The only logic analyzers I could find for under $50 were generic Saleae knock offs but they supposedly work according to reviews. So I have one on order. While I wait, I'm reading up on the basics of microcontrollers at that is the only mysterious black hole in this system for me. I'm sure I'll have more questions after the analyzer arrives.

But thanks again!
