Cycle "running average"

[structure7]

To report on Twitter (or elsewhere) need currentRuntimeMin and (eeCurrent -1) (current number of runs) to report to a vPin or something for another device to provide analytics.

Ideas for analytics:

• Average cycleDuration per hour.
• Average cycleDuration so far today.
• Have CURRENT STATUS display (or one of the others) alternate regular data and cycleDuration average stats. By itself this wouldn't help to record data... maybe.
• Add data.sparkfun/analog.io field.

Over what duration is cycleDuration averaged? Daily? Past x hours. Maybe just stick into an array?

Idea no. 1:

cycleAverage will be a running array of 10 previous cycle times. The most recent cycle duration pushes out the oldest cycle duration.

When to update the array? During a very long cycle, if the information is added only at the end, there really isn't a good trend line including that cycle. Wow... sounds like this might be logic heavy!

Array positions: int cycleTimes[10]; 0----1----2----3----4----5----6----7----8----9---- |-5--|-5--|-6--|----|----|----|----|----|----|----

*\ Work in progress... P.S. There are running average libraries.

Will revisit if I think it's important.
