How to implement an average filter ? (solved)
# help
k
Today I wanted to implement a ripple filter for the noisy ESP32 ADC data. Searched through example sources and libs, but with used keywords I was not successful. Then i tried to implement a filter, building average of n recent values stored in a list. But got compiler errors after removing oldest/first list element (values = values[1...]. Not only the language detailed, also the concepts are hard to find. Which resources do you recommend to learn to solve such simple problems ?

I recently made a little package for a ringbuffer which has the function to average its values

I think the average in your code is correct.
Just be careful that the way you use 
reduce
requires at least two elements.
If you use 
--initial=0
(or a different value, depending on the context), then you can also call 
reduce
with just one function.
nit: generally, we don't add a space after the 
reduce
. So it should be 
reduce: | a b | ...
.
aah. I can see you are actually using your own 
reduce
, not the one from 
List
.
And I'm now realizing I didn't actually answer to the original question...

but feel free to open an issue or something so the input does not get lost

Not sure it's worth filing an issue. I would: - remove the spaces (after 
reduce
). - hide 
reduce
or make it more intuitive. Currently it runs from 0 to count. I would have expected it to run from oldest to newest.
Note that the 
Adc.get
function already runs 64 samples and averages them. You can change that by passing in 
--samples=1
(for example).

Magical: on page https://libs.toit.io/gpio/adc/class-Adc, where can i find such conceptual infos?

I'm in the process of porting that document to docs.toit.io
(it's literally the tutorial I'm porting over right now).

🤩 thank you ... reading now (please continue porting ... 😉 )

thank for your exemplary implementation. Particulary the tests I like !
