Elenco Electronics LP 560 Logic Probe - Electronics Testing Tool for Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Brian Tamburelli: A must when building logic circuits. I built lots of circuits and this is a good addition to my Electronics Laboratory Bench.

Eric: The heavy coiled cord is a deal breaker for this probe. It makes maneuvering the probe difficult. I’m going to mod mine with a better cord.

JPDGreen: The "Elenco Electronics LP-560 Logic Probe Electronics Testing Tool" is a nice little logic tester for the money. I suggest this product.

John: Its clumsy to use.
MFG should have considered a UN-coiled cord.

Dave T: These digital probes may be seen as 'old hat' considering the latest advanced digital testing tools. However, for combinational logic and simpler sequential logic circuits - as well circuit fault tracing in combination with a pulser probe - these tools can be very useful to those using digital circuitry. This particular model, the LP-560, has the added advantage of different tonal outputs for Hi and Lo signals which allows the user to concentrate on probe application rather than changing view to watch LED indicators. The coiled leads can be useful, as they allow more flexibility. However, I found that on occasion the weight of the coiled leads pulled the probe off my small workbench to the detriment of the probe tip. This was only a small disadvantage overall and the LP-560, in general, worked very well.

James MJames M: I got my first computer back in 1980 and build a homebrew logic probe that I have used until recently not that long after. I have started building homebrew and kit computers (around the 6502 and other vintage microprocessors) and in the process have found myself looking at logic probes as an alternative to dragging the oscilloscope around. This one works great and I'm happy I bought it. I thought the "tone" feature would drive me crazy and expected to either muffle or disconnect it, but actually it makes it easier to focus on getting the probe on the right pin instead of looking at the LEDs. Overall it makes basic troubleshooting (is there power where there should be, is the clock oscillating, are address or data pins stuck high or low, etc.) quick and easy. Would definitely recommend and now we'll see if this one lasts four decades like my original homebrew one did...

Amazon Customer: This worked really well to diagnose a missing clock signal on my old Tandy computer. The leads for positive and ground are too short, and the clips aren't well-suited to grab onto thin leads or exposed ground areas. I ended up having to use a second pair of alligator clips on these leads, but overall the probe is great for what I used it for.

The probe tip is the perfect size and sharpness for most 80s/90s machines I've worked on, but you might have trouble firmly contacting pins on super-high-density QFPs unless you're really precise or clamp on a hook probe.

The included instructions are a bit unclear on what the "MEM/PULSE" switch does, but I figured it out through some web searching.
