sdramThingZero got a Blog Writeup!Thanks @Benchoff!
http://hackaday.com/2016/07/19/hackaday-prize-entry-the-cheapest-logic-analyzer/
So that's pretty awesome, and again some great ideas from commentators, always appreciated!
Got a private-message regarding the SDRAM Pinout, so thought I'd throw that info here.
NOTE That a lot of information lacking on this project-page is available at its "father":
E.G. below is from my documentation of #sdramThing4.5 "Logic Analyzer
This was derived from an Intel document: "PC SDRAM Unbuffered DIMM Specification". Be sure to look at section 5 which shows how different chip-layouts are accessed differently. And note that some cheaper DIMMs don't follow the spec *exactly* e.g. using one clock input for both sides. I think the drawing above lays it out somewhat more clearly WRT e.g. which DQM bit corresponds with which bytes, etc. But I can't guarantee it would match all DIMM layouts.
And I've been using the Micron MT48LC8M8A2 datasheet for learning the meanings of the bits, etc.
I'll upload those in the files section.
