Moving average filter

Buffer type can be:

• uint8_t or int8_t with maximum buffer length of 16843009
• uint16_t or int16_t with maximum buffer length of 65537
• uint32_t or int32_t but added number can be as long as 30 bits which eaquals to maximum buffer length of 2, 29 bits number = max buffer length of 4, etc.

Buffer length:

• power of 2 only: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc.

Arduino example

Please see examples folder

Mbed example

#include "mbed.h"
#include "MovingAverage.h"
// Buffer (and added samples) will be initialised as uint8_t, total 16 samples
MovingAverage <uint8_t, 16> filter;
int main() {
    printf("result: %u\n", filter.add(255)); // insert new number and get result
    printf("result: %u\n", filter.add(6));   // insert new number and get result
    printf("result: %u\n", filter.add(9));   // insert new number and get result
    printf("result: %u\n", filter.get());    // get last result, without adding a newone
    return 0;
}

Output

result: 255

result: 239

result: 224

result: 224
