Ultrasonic Data Mean of Medians Approach #8

Open okyang opened 3 years ago

okyang commented 3 years ago

To ensure reliability of fullness data we want to try implementing this approach.

  1. collect 9 fullness data points
  2. sort the data points
  3. Take the middle 5 values and take the average
  4. Return that average as the fullness data

@DevPopat, are you interested in this?

For the sorting, highly recommend using a iterative algorithm like insertion sort instead of a recursive one to prevent stack overflow problems
