lol our bags could have been switched and you wouldn’t know. Down to the Amazon hard case 😂 I’m partial to the panda wireless adapters. I’d love a larger lab tour to round out a Christmas list!
Hey, the flipper zero is also uart/i2c/spi capable, don't forget it! I use it all the time as uart-usb bridge, and sometimes to dump/rewrite i2c eeproms. Always handy!
that's probably the first time seeing a hardware hacking edc purposely without a soldering iron. i normally bring mine in a hw edc. it's only a small ts80p, usb c cable, small multipurpose pd powerbank, solder & brass cleaner. it does not take up that much space than that logic analyzer. it also helps with those questionable usb uart dongles with loose connections i often experience. even with a spare. or bridging spots on a pcb or basic repair to make sure a connection is solid. or soldering wires to pinouts.
"He won't bring the pogo pin setup, will he?" Lol. I see it doesnt take much space. I did guess at a uart to usb setup. I'm sure you know there are small portable soldering irons like the TS80 and 100, but if you can set up your trip to do without.. Happy Thanksgiving!
For whatever it's worth, to anyone looking for ways to transport / organize similar tech stuff, I found the Eagle Creek Gear Cube S to be nifty. It's not padded or rigid, but as a low-bulk, durable container to put in a larger bag it's great. I wouldn't pay full price, but on clearance it fits the bill. I keep a PiKVM + cables in one and a mini air duster in the other.
I can personally recommend the Analog Discovery 3 which is 1/3 the cost of the Saleae alone but has 2-CH 14-bit oscilloscope, 2-CH 14-bit arbitrary waveform generator, 16-CH logic analizer and pattern generator, has decoders for SPI, I2C, UART, etc. dual programmable power supplies from -5V to +5V at 800ma each. The scope, L.A. and wave gen all work at 125 MS/s per channel (less than the Saleae but still quite adequate). I would agree with other commenters that a soldering iron would be useful "just in case", perhaps one of those small USB-C powered ones. Better to have one and not need it :) One last thing, throw away your unreliable USB/RS232 converters. Are you aware that the Flipper Zero is a CMSIS/SWD/JTAG/RS232 adaptor ? Look into the relevant FZ applications.
I wonder if you'd be willing to make a video soley focused on why you use linux environments compared to others for your line of work as well as your opinions on why the majority of this industry also uses linux. Feel like that would be a great video while being very informative.
Hi mat nice video like always continu like that , about your setup I had a question I wanted to ask you. As you have an xgecu t48 programmer with different sockets and adapters, some of them are usually sold with the programmer as a kit . My question is based on your experience which adapters are likely to be the most usefull in the field of reverse engineering and worth having in the kit when buying an xgecu t48 to use in the same way you do ? Also in your opinion is AliExpress trustable in this case or likely sell clones of the t48 ? otherwise do you advise any other programmer ? thanks in advance
How are you Matt Can you make a video about the reader Saleae and how to deal with her Your explanation as a professional is completely different from the ads.
@@mattbrwn jtag, spi, uart, accepts devices of different volts, works with a ton of programs, all around great tool for the bag. sometimes you need to talk to somethign with different voltage, coming from the guy who has the ftdi cables in 1.8, 3.3 and so on, i think its a bit more durable. but to each their own ;-)
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop, it's a Ryzen laptop and, even though they have a similar model with a very little differences working perfectly fine with Linux, Lenovo completely refused to support Linux on this one, leaving their buggy BIOS as is, making the experience terible. Even when I managed to get it to install and boot an OS by modifying some kernel parameters, it wasn't stable, touchpad would stop working and the system would freeze should the laptop go to sleep. At least that was back when I still cared, have only touched that laptop like 5 times since then running Windows, barely use the thing. Never buying a Lenovo laptop EVER.
Failed cables are a real pita, especially when it was working 10 minutes ago.
and to troubleshoot that it was a cable that just stopped working and not something else that broke instead.

The difference between men and boys is the price of the toys.
Love seeing the WiFi adapter recommended by Sox from discord. I also purchased one as well based on his suggestion.

Like I said, I specifically built the loadout knowing ahead of time that no soldering would be needed. Would definitely change if that was different
Loved the video - happy holidays, Matt! 🦃🍗

Great loadout! Great video as always!

Good job Matt.
Doing a quick loopback test of UART cables is always good, just connect TX to RX and it will echo in the terminal program :D
If your serial converters fail on you, you might consider to improve their I/O protection with series resistors and ESD protection diodes.
Cool stuff and gear!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍 Happy Thanks Giving!!!!!!!!

If flying, the TSA folks may have some questions for you😳
Get a portable charger and a ts100. They're so versatile and light. Great kit though thanks for the insight.
What do you do for a living Matt?

I wish I could bring everything, as such, I bring nothing and just resign knowing I’ll be with family.
Next timd shos models/names on screen and tell WHY you chose that one device from many analogs.
Thanks.
Also, Fluke slow?
Pls do a vid about your education/learning path.
Can you share a link to your magnetic pogo pin connectors? I can't seem to find a link in your description(s)
i have that same alfa wireless adapter, so good :D
Fix a printer? I'm not that talented.

Flippers can act as UART bridges :D
Hey, new here. Which OS do you use for daily drive?
Its already been said, but lab tour next!
How are you Matt Can you make a video about the reader Saleae and how to deal with her Your explanation as a professional is completely different from the ads.
Also, i think ifixit soldering kit is bad and pinecill v2 good
you really need to get a tigard instead of those ftdi uart cables...
Interesting. Can I ask why?

Hello. It's possible to hack locked ECU with Renesas sh7058 microprocessor? Aud port blocked,can't read tune.

No seriously who da f@ck downvoted this?
Welcome to the Internet 😀🤣
yeah I thought so too! Cool video!
your moving hands are incredibly distracting
Womp womp
Neurotic?
Love your vids, Pot the nibby in the bag😂
