averaging some engine data

[sstearns2]

Hello,

It would be great to add the option of a few second average on displayed fuel flow and CHT data. My fuel flow wanders by a few tenths of a gallon and the CHTs bounce around by 5-10 degrees. It's a little distracting and annoying and I think it would be easily solved by averaging a few seconds of data.

Thanks,
Scott

Both of these already have 1+ second filters. You're seeing the result of filtering out even larger changes. For the CHT's to bounce 10 degrees likely requires a data change of 50+ degrees.

Most installs don't have these issues, and can easily settle on a 1 degree CHT and 0.1GPH fuel flow. I'd want to investigate where that noise is coming from before trying to filter it out.

You have loose connections or poor connections if they are bouncing around by 10 degrees (CHT) so re-terminate them.

What connectors are you using ? are they the pink ones that are/were supplied in the sensor kit ?

Could also be a general grounding or power connection problem. The first graph below has a loose alternator connection. The second graph is after it was fixed. Much smoother EGT readings.
