decimal point in temp reading

Using Arduino Programming Questions

el_supremo:

 float averageTemp; // create a float to hold running average

for (int i = 1; i < 1000; i++) // start at 1 so we dont divide by 0
    averageTemp += ((Temp - averageTemp)/(float)i); // get next sample, calculate running average




This code doesn't do anything useful.
The declaration of averageTemp will cause it to be initialized with a random value which makes the for loop start its "running average" with a random value.
The for loop uses the same value of Temp every time so it is not generating a running average.

Good point, I am open to suggestions.
