The High Speed Adapter… is it Really a Big Deal?

Not long ago we launched the Digital Discovery. If you’ve perused the documentation for the Digital Discovery you may see several mentions of the High Speed Adapter and Logic Probes and wonder what are those, and are they really a big deal?

Spoiler alert: Yes!

The High Speed Adapter is one of the four Accessories for the Digital Discovery. You have the 2×6 cable, 2×16 cable, High Speed Adapter and High Speed Probes. The 2×6 and 2×16 cables give you access to the Pmod style connectors, and access to the 32 pin connector, you’ll get one of each of these in your kit.
