LowPassFilter

The LowPassFilter C++ library offers a convenient way to implement low pass filters for applications requiring signal smoothing. This library proves particularly useful in scenarios with constant cycletime as well as dynamic cycletime.

Example with static cycle time

#include <iostream>
#include "LowPassFilter.hpp"
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv){
	// Create a low pass filter with 1 Hz cuttoff freqency. DetltaTime for each
	// cycle equals 0.01 seonds
	LowPassFilter lpf(1.0, 0.01);
	// Cycles 500 times.
	//
	// As the lpf deltaTime set to 0.01 it will simulate 5 seconds of run time.
	for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++){
		cout << lpf.update(1.0) << endl; //Update with 1.0 as input value.
	}
	return 1;
}

Example with dynamic cycle time

#include <iostream>
#include "LowPassFilter.hpp"
using namespace std;

#include <cmath> //Used for the sin() function.

int main(int argc, char** argv){
	// Create a low pass filter. DetltaTime for each cycle is unknown and will
	// vary.
	LowPassFilter lpf;
	// Cycles 500 times.
	//
	// As the lpf deltaTime set to 0.01 it will simulate 5 seconds of run time.
	for(int i = 0; i < 500; i++){
		// Simulate a slightly varying sampling time. for each cycle.
		float cycleTime = 0.01 + (0.002 * sin((float)i * 0.05));
		cout <<
			"cycleTime = " << cycleTime <<
			",\t Output = " <<
			// Update with 1.0 as input value, the current cycle time as
			// deltaTime and 2 Hz cutoff frequency.
			lpf.update(1.0, cycleTime, 2) <<
			endl;
	}
	return 1;
