Averaging A Series Of Compass Readings?
Oct 19, 2009
If I have posted this question in the wrong forum, please tell me how to find the correct forum.
I am working on an application that presents the average of a list of compass readings. The readings are wind directions. The problem occurs when the wind is oscillating around North. Some of the readings will be in the 300's, other readings can be 1, 2, 10, etc. degress. (A compass reads from 1 to 360 degress. 360 degrees is the same as 0 degrees.
You can't just average the numbers. For example, if you had two readings, 355 degrees and 5 degrees, just averaging the two results in an answer of 180 degrees. The correct answer is either 360 degrees or 000 degrees.
Most likely I can code data analysis logic to look for the problem, but I am hoping there is a simplier way. Does anybody know the answer?

I'm using the .NET SerialPort class to communicate with gauges. Every time a button on a gauge is pressed a reading value is sent over port. The problem I have is that if the gauge button is pressed while the program is off then when the program starts it fires the data received event for that existing data. I don't want this behavior -- I only want to collect readings done after the port is opened.
port = New SerialPort("COM1", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One)
port.Open()
port.DtrEnable = True
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
port.ReadExisting()
AddHandler port.DataReceived, AddressOf PortDataReceived
If I don't have the Thread.Sleep then the DataReceived event is fired for the previous gauge data. I'm guessing this is because the ReadExisting doesn't block and so when its called immediately after an open it just reads nothing. So if you call 'port.BytesToRead()' immediately after open its zero. If you call it 100ms after open its non-zero. I guess this makes sense -- it takes time after open to read the existing data. Another option is to call read and set the read timeout but that seems no different than Thread.Sleep except you have to catch an exception...

Below is my code. I have a system that provides me voltage readings that changes based on a timer (interval of 300 milliseconds). I want to compile voltage readings for over 5 seconds (but I need the timer reading to remain at 300 ms) and then spit out an average of the THAT data. How do I do this? I was thinking of using datasetvalue but wasn't sure.

Private Daqboard As MccDaq.MccBoard = New MccDaq.MccBoard(0)

I have made and application to read from an Access database file listing a baseball teams players. I have designed and coded a button that is to calculate the average age of all the players. Everything works, but I can only get the ages to add, but do not know haw to get them to divide by the number of records in order to get the average. The database is subject to change, increasing or decreasing in the number of players. How do I average a column in a database? Here is what I have:
Private Sub btnAverageAgeOfTeam_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAverageAgeOfTeam.Click
' This click event will average all the ages of the players
' together giving the total average age for the whole team.

I have a bunch of events with values (how many people went through a doorway). Each event is associated with a Date. There is no fixed period to the events .If no one comes through the door, no event is generated, but often multiple people can go through at once, so the value can be greater than one.
Sometimes events are minutes apart for a time, sometimes there is gaps of a few hours,
Using the Date class, is there an easy way to average my values over periods of time?
