Filter Issue

I have an array of 5 sensors. I am trying to filter it while I get it from the ADC. As in I am trying to make sure that the new value is not greater than the old value by more than10 %. I need to have the final array as an array of 16bit values.

Here is what I tried:

New Value = ((1-0.10)*(Old Value)) + (0.10*(New Value))

Here is what I did in the code:

Code:

int16 Sensor1[5];
int16 Sensor2[5];
double e =0.10;
int i;

I update all the values in Sensor2[5] by reading the 5 sensors with the ADC.

Then I do the following:

Code:

i=0;
for(i=0;i<5;i++) // Initialize Sensor1 Array.
{
Sensor1[i]=0;
}

for(;;)
{

//I update all the values in SensorOld[5] by reading the 5 sensors with the ADC.

i=0;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
Sensor1[i]=((1-e)*(Sensor1[i]))+(e*(Sensor2[i]));
}

}

I would appreciate it if someone could find whats wrong with this code!

Thank you.

You formula alone (which, I think, is an FIR filter) doesn't guarantee that the new value will be within 10% of the old value. Imagine a case, when the new value is more than 10 times bigger than the old value.

What's wrong with the output that the present code produces?

Thank you.

That code looks like it was written to run on a PC with the extensive use of floating point and use of ambiguous variable types. It's faster to just filter by a binary fraction such as 1/8 or 1/16 and do all the math in Int16.
