I was going to order an analog discovery 2 pro bundle but I qualify for the educational discount and wanted to figure out what accessories I really need.
1) Definitely wanted the BNC adapter board for $19.99
2) I can use any BNC probes with this, right? Like I could order them from Amazon, etc. or use existing ones that I have?
3) I need to measure current on a 5V circuit around 1-5 AMPS for a battery powered project. I bought two higher current .10 ohm resistors figuring I could connect probes against that to measure current and they would only slightly drop the voltage at these amperage ranges, but with a high resolution scope, I could go lower resistance. Or can I get probes that do this for me?
4) Do I need the Mini Grabber test clips -- what are they for?
5) What is meant by "The Analog DIscovery BNC adapter board does not have differential analog scope inputs?
6) Any other must have accessories?
Thanks in advance for any help or input -- this looks like a great little device (and sniffing various protocols and simulating GPIO will be great)!
