how to write a Arduino program that takes 3 temperature sens
how to write a Arduino program that takes 3 temperature sensor readings then takes the average of those readings
Solution
const int TempReadings = 3;
int readings[TempnumReadings]; // the readings from the analog input
int readIndex = 0; // the index of the current reading
int total = 0; // the running total
int average = 0; // the average
int inputPin = A0;
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication with computer:
Serial.begin(9600);
// initialize all the readings to 0:
for (int thisReading = 0; thisReading < numReadings; thisReading++) {
readings[thisReading] = 0;
}
}
void loop() {
// subtract the last reading:
total = total - readings[readIndex];
// read from the sensor:
readings[readIndex] = analogRead(inputPin);
// add the reading to the total:
total = total + readings[readIndex];
// advance to the next position in the array:
readIndex = readIndex + 1;
// if we\'re at the end of the array...
if (readIndex >= TempReadings) {
// ...wrap around to the beginning:
readIndex = 0;
}
// calculate the average:
avg = total / TempReadings;
// send it to the computer as ASCII digits
Serial.println(avg);
delay(1); // delay in between reads for stability
}
