16 Channel Logic Probe Compatible with Rigol MSO5000 DHO900 PLA2216 Clips US

Community Build: 16-Channel Logic Probe
for Rigol MSO5000 & DHO900

Open-source design by S. Petrukhin & hydrabus — assembled and tested at cost

What This Is

This is a hand-assembled build of the open-source Logic Probe 16 — a community-designed 16-channel logic analyzer probe for Rigol MSO5000 and DHO900 series oscilloscopes.

The circuit was designed by S. Petrukhin (EasyEDA user f33net, 2020), with the v2.2 KiCad port and matched-length traces contributed by hydrabus (October 2020). The 50-pin connector pinout was reverse-engineered by Gandalf_Sr on the EEVblog forums. The design has been tested and validated by the EEVblog community across multiple MSO5000 models.

This is not our original design. We assemble, test, and ship it for people who want a working probe without sourcing parts and soldering 50+ components themselves. Pricing covers parts, assembly labor, testing, and shipping — this is offered at cost as a service to the community.

Want to build your own instead? Everything is public — you absolutely can:

• Circuit & BOM: OSHWLab project (Petrukhin)
• Community discussion: EEVblog thread

What We Do Source genuine parts TI SN65LVDS1 LVDS drivers and ON Semi MC33375 LDO — documented ICs with published datasheets, not mystery parts. Assemble All 50+ components soldered to the v2.2 PCB. Test every channel All 16 channels individually verified for correct LVDS output before shipping. Power LED confirmed. Enclose (if selected) 3D-printed case with M3 standoffs and connector cutouts. STL files are public if you want to print your own. Ship from USA Ships within 2 business days. USPS tracking included. Support If it doesn\'t work with your scope, message us. Same-day responses. Configurations Tier What You Receive Bare PCB Unpopulated 2-layer board. Full BOM with LCSC/Mouser/DigiKey part numbers. Links to EasyEDA and KiCad source files. You solder it yourself. Assembled and Tested Fully soldered board with genuine TI and ON Semi parts. All 16 channels tested. No case or accessories. Assembled with Enclosure Same as above, mounted in a 3D-printed case with M3 standoffs and connector cutouts.

You will need a 50-pin IDC ribbon cable and probe wires/clips to connect to your circuits — these are widely available and inexpensive. Message us if you need sourcing help.

• Fixed ~1.4V threshold — reliable for 3.3V and 5V logic. Not reliable for 1.8V. The scope\'s threshold setting has no effect on this type of probe.
• 0–5V input range — do not exceed 5V or go below 0V.
• 2-layer PCB — adequate for typical embedded work, but not impedance-controlled like a 4-layer design.
• Cable and clips not included.
