Hi, 

   

    It's possible measure the current consumption using oscilloscope in Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-042-BLE). If so, how?

   

Thank you.

Hi,

   

If your oscilloscope supports high accuracy current averaging facility, you can use it. If not, i would recommend you to go for a high end multi meter with current averaging feature.

   

The current consumption can be measured across the BLE_VDD jumper on the pionerr kit.

Hi Madhu Sudhan,

   

    I tried to use these pins by placing a resistor of 1 ohm and placing the probe of the oscilloscope in parallel with this resistor to measure the voltage drop on it, however to connect the probe short plug kit and working. What can it be?
