I was going to purchase this to look at signals from crankshaft position sensors, mass air flow sensors, etc. Would this be a good scope for that?

I haven't used this scope for automotive sensor troubleshooting, but as long as the specs for what you're testing are within the input voltage range that the scope can handle, it should be useable. Unless you know otherwise, I assume most automotive sensors are very low voltage, so the HPS140I should be fine. But, this scope is tiny, has only four buttons, doesn't have a backlit screen and is only a single channel. Using the four buttons to navigate through the menus takes a bit of time and patience to get used to. But, once the buttons and menus are understood, the scope proves itself to be capable for viewing waveforms and voltages. And, it doesn't cost very much. So, if you're really budget constrained & the specs match what you need, it's hard to beat the HPS140I. In comparison, I also own a Velleman HPS50 which is more than double the cost of the HPS140S. With the 50's larger, backlit screen, more buttons and other features, it's quite a bit more versatile.

Yes and it should be a good scope, but the one i had would not hold a setting. It was all over the place. Sent it back for a refund. Good transaction thks Amazon.

The Ultima 80 would probably be a good scope for that. Not so good for astronomy, but good in low contrast situations. You might also consider the Ultima 60 or some good zoom binoculars.

Without a doubt, yes! Tracking objects can be tricky. But other than that, it's a wonderful scope. I would definitely recommend the moon filter. The moon is incredibly bright without the filter.

It will definately give all the readings you"ll need performing the basic testing you'll need to do. If you advance into some higher level of electronics rather than just swapping parts you may find it lacking some sensitivity and sophistication you'd need but I'd say it's design is well within the realm of what you'd be doing for quite awhile. And I'd definately recommend it.

It can be a good tool to help monitor teen driving but sometimes it is just not all that accurate and can be easily disconnected. The answer to your question is maybe it would be helpful

Yes! actually its a great tool for measuring if you motor is actually working normally. You can get an RPM reading in seconds...

I would not recommend it for that. There is more specialized equipment for that. This is primarily for the detection of luminaires. I use it in construction because when doing night work you have to meet a certain criteria.

The range finder is laser so that part should work just fine. This is not a night scope so do not expect to be able to see any more than you could through a set of binoculars.

I have used mine for sometime now and so far it seems to measure just about anything you try, so I believe it would be able to read a burst of air from an air gun.

It'll give you a pretty accurate reading on the air coming out of the vent but it's probably reading off the vent itself. I use it on air vents in the house when servicing the ac to check air temps. It works pretty good. I don't know how you would make it focus just on air but I have compared it to a regular thermometer hanging in the vent & it reads within a degree or so to it. It definitely reacts faster than a regular thermometer. Just remember when reading something very close, it will be reading slightly lower than the laser sight because the sight comes out of the top of it.

This is a good scope for exploring the moon and seeing the constellations. Depending what magnification you use you might see details on the planets but I haven't yet.

It's good for finding out what the codes are, and will give you a brief description (from my limited experience using it), but it is not a diagnostic scan tool that will allow you to watch in live time what is happening with the engines.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

Yes and no. I use this scope to find high traffic trails in the hills above my house (1300yds). As for seeing where your bullet hit the target or getting a really close look at your target. This scope will only dissapoint you at that range. I would go with a higher power scope.

No, this little gadget is just for looking at the moon, which is very close. If you want to look further into the universe, you have to look for something more powerful.

I would only use this device on handguns. If thou want something for a rifle get a dot scope that is rated for rifles.
