I'm trying to hack this Laser Rangefinder to get the measured range out of it and into some other device (arduino, PC, RPi - not sure yet). The logic analyzer I'm using has these probes which are not suitable. I tried soldering tiny wires to the pins and that worked for the IC with larger leads like you can see in the picture, but when I tried to do the same on the GP22 chip (QFN package, lower right) and on the STM32 uC I just made a mess. I'm asking two questions; one about probing with logic analyzer and another about how to permanently tap the signals once I decide which ones I need.
In some youtube videos I have seen a setup where there is a bridge-like structure extended over the device under test, and spring-loaded probes that can be clipped onto it and stabbed against the desired test points. What's that called?
