hey dark what subject are you doing? is it an "enhancement study"? i did enhancement accounting last year....

yep..

im doing

CHM1011 and CHM1022 as enhancements..

its not that bad tho.. coz i dont have to drive up there all the time, only when my schools facilities are too shit to do the prac experiments there :D.. lol

I know a few people who did uni subjects in year 12 and they all got marks of 95-100. Its coz uni is so much easier than year12. dark im sure youll go better than you think up against all those uni students who just drink all the time.

hehe... so far its really hard.. i hope to get 96 for my TER... :worship:

hahaha.. the only difference there is... im still in year 12 :cheers:

There are way to many people in IT and alot of em dont know shit either!

Going for the big bux job hey?

Amen to that, I work in IT for a hardwaresoftware sales and support company and I tell you what I could have half of the jobs of our clients in-house IT co-ordinators, they are dumb as dog sh*t. It is far to crowded now.

Thats because of those computer power training courses that tries to teach people who have never seen a computer before to be tech's in a few months and them get them a job when they really dont know what they are doing.

And then on the other hand you get the computer geeks that do a 2 year tafe course with a fancy name which teaches you basic stuff and then they get jobs trying to sort out problems they wouldnt have a clue about.

try ringing up dell tech support, the call goes to india, enough said!

haha.. same with HP (i think) and also telstra... lots of companies do it because it saves the money on employment costs, and they can give ppl jobs over in india

lol funny thing is, most techies in india are attending or have attended MIT, which amongst other things is ranked number 2 in the world for IT degrees, and number 1 outside the US. If any of them were to come over here to work, they would not only know more than us, they'd also be much more highly qualified than most of the managers running around in the IT industry.

But, by the same token due to oversaturation, there is no room for them to come over here, and thus they work in india in callcenters...

Theres are about 5 Indian PLC programmers working at the building joining ours on the new PLC Holden Engine plant in Adelaide. Its a sub division of my company.

I was getting a coffee in the lunch room and started talking to one of the guys and he asked me how long i have been in aus, i said 20 years. So i asked him the same question and he said 1.5 weeks, of which 1 week he was working!!

They may know their IT stuff but know farkall about geography of australia :P

F*** uni!

advice tho: dun go overboard partying(heheh..yah rite..)...go to classes (esp. if ur an international!!!) make friends with the smart kids in class... dun matter if they're geeks or loud or whatever... long as ur passing everything have as much fun as u like...i found out the hard wayyy....not like yr12 at all... couldn't party my b*lls off and pass everything.... n 1st years a bludge...get all the partying out of ur system then!!!

PS - seeing everyone else (friends and peeps) graduate and still having 2 yrs to go is..... feels .... f*cked. keep passing aite!!!!!!!

can't believe i found my fails funny then... bloody st*ner......

PS - i think the right course is directly linked to ur motivation.... been doin accounting for 4 years now...and am only going into 2nd yr... sheesh

all the best mate, have fun! :(

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
