Measuring weight by substraction #13

Open ekianjo opened 7 years ago

ekianjo commented 7 years ago

Let's say you want to weigh your dog or your small kids, you'd need to have a function to take a first measurement where someone is standing with the pet or kid in their arms, and a second one without - so that weights under 30 kg can be measured accurately.

Would you consider adding this kind of thing ?

aelveborn commented 7 years ago

Yeah, this needs to be rewritten. We should use some algorithm to start measuring when the weight is stable, not by >30 kg. This should not be impossible to do! But my time is limited, I would love some help with this feature.

One approach would be to detect when the weight has a slope of zero. I'll have a go at it but I'm a git noob so no promises that I'll be able to do a pull request correctly.

I don't have plans for this functionality as of right now.
