Not long ago we launched the Digital Discovery<\/a>. If you’ve perused the documentation for the Digital Discovery you may see several mentions of the High Speed Adapter<\/a>\u00a0and Logic Probes<\/a> and wonder what are those, and are they really a big deal?<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: Yes!<\/p>\n

The High Speed Adapter is one of the four Accessories for the Digital Discovery. You have the 2×6 cable<\/a>, 2×16 cable,<\/a> High Speed Adapter and High Speed Probes. The 2×6 and 2×16 cables give you access to the Pmod style connectors, and access to the 32 pin connector, you’ll get one of each of these in your kit.<\/p>\n
