//FUN WITH SMOOTHING!!!!!!!!! //taken from < http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Smoothing > // Define the number of samples to keep track of. The higher the number, // the more the readings will be smoothed, but the slower the output will // respond to the input. Using a #define rather than a normal variable lets // use this value to determine the size of the readings array. #define NUMREADINGS 30 int readings[NUMREADINGS]; // the readings from the analog input int index = 0; // the index of the current reading int total = 0; // the running total int average = 0; // the average int inputPin = 0; int ledPin = 11; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial communication with computer for (int i = 0; i < NUMREADINGS; i++) readings[i] = 0; // initialize all the readings to 0 } void loop() { total -= readings[index]; // subtract the last reading readings[index] = analogRead(inputPin); // read from the sensor total += readings[index]; // add the reading to the total index = (index + 1); // advance to the next index if (index >= NUMREADINGS) // if we're at the end of the array... index = 0; // ...wrap around to the beginning average = total / NUMREADINGS; // calculate the average if (average < 6) average = 0; Serial.println(average); // send it to the computer (as ASCII digits) analogWrite(ledPin, average/2); }
