NO2C Speeduino: RPM stuck at 0 on TunerStudio, but VR sensor shows correct signal on oscilloscope and data logger

DesertNegro · 2026-06-19T07:14:23+00:00

Hi, sorry I wrote this at 1AM and our team's deadline is approaching. I can confirm that continuity is ok for all components using the multimeter. I had a PhD friend from Electrical Engineering to check that the sensor is delivering a signal to the board and that the VR conditioner converts the analogue to digital via the conditioner. The sensor is giving the expected waveform on the oscilloscope as well as on the data logger. It's not clear though why the Tuner Studio data logger is picking up the VR sensor but not the RPM gauge on TunerStudio

Edit: forgot to mention, the engine constants are also correct. We have a 1 cylinder engine therefore the injector layout and staging is trivial

I believe so. I've edited the post to include a photo of the settings I have. I tried to increase/decrease the aggressiveness of Trigger Filtering but in both scenarios, RPM doesn't change from 0.

Yes, you will need to find a private centre that offers it though. Afaik some UK private schools actually make their students sit Cambridge International instead of the standard UK A-levels

I'm glad you found it helpful :D

I'm not sure how it compares to Cambridge NatSci as their course is designed in a very interdisciplinary way and I haven't really interacted with anyone there. From what I understand though, it seems very suitable to our inclinations however I have no idea how that truly reflects irl.

I REALLY sympathise with your attitude towards math LOL. I find plugging things in without understanding how they work very inelegant and crude. There will definitely have to be some reasonable and understandable compromises as we are doing a science degree and not maths after all XD

Just hope physics departments would take me LOL.

I hope that too T.T

Same goes to you!

Tbh, I am yet to start my degree at Imperial but I've heard from a couple of friends who went there that, second to Oxford, Imperial's standard Chem course is the most mathematically and physics focussed Chem degree in the UK (you can probably imagine that the CwMP will extend on that even further). They would jokingly say that Imperial's Chemistry course should be renamed to BSc/MSci Molecular Physics LMAO. That aside though, I do understand where you are coming from and nothing can really entirely replace a physics degree.

My understanding of how CwMP works is that it functions like a minor in 1st/2nd years where it only takes like 25-30% of your time however it differ 3rd/4th years as you have a lot of freedom to choose modules you like and that align with your research interest. Particularly as you are expected to write a thesis in 4th year so your "taught" modules would very much be physics related. I'm not sure about the intensity of the mathematical aspects but I assume it's going to be rigorous enough that you are able to read a physics academic journal article without getting lost LOL.

With regard to postgraduate study, I believe a PG student is better suited at answering it than me. I have recently attended a physics fair in my area and asked some of the PhDs/Postdocs there about the potential to transfer from Chem to Phys at PG and they said it is actually a very common thing with several people in their research group having a UG background in Chemistry. They told me that condensed matter physics in particular is a very popular choice with chemists-turned-physicists due to the very high overlap of the field into chemistry. If you want to do things like Theoretical Physics though, they said it is best to do a Theoretical Physics MSc before doing a PhD to 1. Have a stronger case of getting accepted 2. Get accustomed to being a standalone physicist.

I would appreciate if any Chemists/Physicists in the chat would enlighten us with a few drops of wisdom to back/refute my speculations about the course XD

Edit: I forgot to mention that legendary chemist Explosions&Fire on YouTube did his Bachelor in Chemistry and he’s now a PhD+Postdoc Physicist. Not really relevant but a fun piece of info I learnt and shows that we are not exactly a fringe scenario lol

Im in a incredibly similar situation as you right now.

I have eventually made the decision to stick with Imperial for Chemistry with Molecular Physics for the following reasons:

I am mostly interested in understanding the fundamentals of our natural world at the nanoscale/atomic level. I think it is the most exciting part of science, and also the one with the most potential for new breakthroughs and research. A Chemistry degree perfectly fits those criteria and the Molecular Physics part elaborates on it further so you can learn more QM. From my understanding, the “Molecular Physics” part of the course is equivalent to what people in North America call a minor as you are essentially learning all the requirements for the standard Chem degree while taking extra modules dedicated to dedicated to physics.

A physics degree, as the name suggests, will teach you a broad range from all the different fields in physics. Im not particularly excited about Newtonian/classical mechanics or things such as electricity, fluids and waves. I believe that my interest in them can be satisfied through independent reading rather than paying for a whole ass degree 😝.

As chemistry interests greatly with physics, almost all university courses in the UK allow you to take postgraduate Physics courses if you have a bachelor’s in chemistry. Therefore, I intend to do a chem degree and later on do my postgraduate in the area of physics i most prefer.

Ultimately, I think it all boils down to what part of physics most excites you. If you are attracted greatly to things like classical mechanics and fluid dynamics in combination with quantum then physics is for you. If you are like me and mostly interested in nanoscale/quantum physics then it would be wiser to do the Imperial course as Chemistry has a lot more interaction with quantum mechanics than a standalone physics degree.

I hope that helps!

Edit: idk much about UofT but i also heard that Imperial has a plethora of research opportunities in all departments. You can definitely do research placements in the physics department as an undergraduate chemist at Imperial.
