Hobby Components Logic Analyser and PulseView

Its taken me days to install Linux and get Pulseview working,   The version that can be installed with Ubuntu 16.04 was not new enough.    

Snooping on the MOSI

Hmmm. I've read that solder tinning cables in screw connectors is bad form

So rather than risk building my own and burning my house down, I decided to purchase an off the shelf energy diverter.  There are other options that provide a lot more in the way of monitoring, but I decided to go with the simplest option and see if I could some how work out how to extract info about what it was doing.
Of course the first thing I did was dismantle it.

Its an 8bit micro-controller.     Oh,..Just like an arduino.
