What this episode covers

Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the Hackaday Prize, which offers a trip to space, emphasizing that open-source documentation and novel ideas are more important than polished hardware. They explore the concept of a portable lab, debating the use of makeup cases, Android-based scopes like the Aussie Prime, and handheld scopes from Handtech. The conversation also covers Altium's strategic failure in China and subsequent move to San Diego, changes to Eagle's licensing model, and the consolidation of the audio chip market through Serious Logic's acquisition of Wolfson.

    The Spark Gap - Episode 9

    Hosts Carl and Corey discuss the industry practice of manufacturers like Tektronix and Agilent disabling hardware features via software locks, arguing that unlocking them is not theft because the hardware already exists. They contrast Tektronix's aggressive legal stance with Rigel's acceptance of firmware hacks, which helped the company gain market share among hobbyists. The hosts recommend open-source alternatives like the Bus Pirate and Logic Sniffer, as well as commercial tools from Saleae and Total Phase, as cost-effective substitutes for expensive scope add-ons.
