I'm a retired software dev with lots of experience programming to the metal. Now I want to learn electronics as a hobby. I want to be able to follow a curriculum of some sort.
I've found two possible contenders: the Analog Devices ADALM200 (https://tinyurl.com/y3yefx7y) and the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 (https://tinyurl.com/y5exsg4l ). If I've missed any (except the Red Pitaya which seems too niche), I'd appreciate a pointer.
I don't really care about the respective merits of either of these units as bench equipment - my only concern is how much I can learn. Checking .EDU sites for pdf files (and thus labs), the DAD2 is used quite a bit more often. The ADALM, however, is accompanied by dozens of classes and labs, and a parts kit to match the classes is also available.
If you have experience with one of these devices as an educational tool, which would you choose?
Thanks!
