Question about averaging numbers

vvvv beta general
1

Hi, newbie here.

So, I am trying to make a patch where I get data from processing via UDP and use it in vvvv. I am tracking a face in processing, sending the x value to vvvv, so far so good.

My problem is, the data is coming every n milliseconds, thus making my vvvv object move to x and 0 back and forth every n milliseconds, much like a blinking motion.

So, I thought, maybe I could average the received values and move my object every 5 seconds or so to the averaged value.

I would appreciate some guidance with this :)

Another solution would be to not take the 0’s into account, so if(0)skip. I am not sure how to do an if statement in vvvv though. A pointer in that matter would also be appreciated since I am sure I will absolutely need it at somepoint.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, newbie.

Try to use Transient (Animation)
or IIR (Animation) from Kalle Modules Animation Page.
