Weekly Waveform 19 - How to scope a TPS signal plus how does a TPS sensor even work?

[@joebriano6090]

Great explanation and illustration gives me confidence to use my scope thank so much 👍

Excellent Presentation, Thanks for sharing.

the last couple of TPS's I've had that were bad I replaced and then fiddled around with the bad TPS on my bench (pico attached). It was when I slowly rotated the sensor that there'd be a certain part where there'd be a dropout. I believe these act like old potentiometers in stereos were the pad that the slider wipes on gets oxidized and thus the dropout (or "staticy" music) . It seems like a pretty simple system but can also be prone to failure.

A Math Channel to sum algebraically the two signals plus a mask on Math channel?

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

I wish we had math channels in the snapon scope. With the picoscope it’s a piece of cake. Pico even had a few default math channels like A+B, A-B so you didn’t even have to create the equation. Thanks for watching🍻
