Hardware - USB-C (USB Type C) Connector


A

The Type C has become the dominant interface, especially as most phones/tablet as well as PC's now support this interface.

It is more robust and flexible than the USB3.0 A/B micro connector as presently found on the logic analyser.

On the next H/W update, please move over to this interface, as it will also allow Android, etc. interfaces without hassles.

Morning Tim!
Long time fan of the Logic software. Can't tell you how many times it has saved me 😅.

For the past couple of days, I've been trying to create suggestion about supporting usb-c connectors, but the post has not gone through. I later realized this was already suggested(the search didn't show it for some reason)
I've tried to switch browsers, devices, but no matter what I do the posts are sent into a black hole and I get a weird error showing up on my screen. Pretty annoying to have to constantly rewrite things.

Being the engineer I am, I looked up some similar tools and there seem to be quite a few that might work better.

Here's some I found:

Hopefully the post goes through this time. Fingers crossed 🤞

It looks like this post specifically went through! I noticed you posted another "Test" idea post. I deleted that one to clean things up here. I'll merge your idea post into the existing one below:

"I fully understand why you’re making a minimal HW revision. I just wanted to ‘air’ my interest in getting an USB-C connector instead of the old abomination of an USB 3.0 connector.

Going to USB-C would require you to change the casing as well, so further costs. What I hear from colleagues that have worked with mini-USB, micro-USB and the USB-C connectors is that the USB-C is less mechanically stable and sturdy than it’s predecessors. Choosing a USB-C connector with PTH mechanical relief posts is important (with all-SMT connectors, you risk the copper getting torn off the fiberglass base)."

I agree with this request, USB-C is much more robust than the MicroB connector.

That means a whole new aluminium casing which is very expensive. You could use a different cable which has usb-c at the other end though :)

Do you have an idea of how much money we are talking about?

Logic Pro isn't cheap either.
