One effective way to eliminate the effects of noise is by taking an average of the
compass' x and y axis measurements. That way, if noise causes one measurement to be a
little high, the next one a little low, and the one after that is about right, the average of all
the measurements will eliminate the highs and lows and settle on the right value.
One of the reasons the calibration and calibration testing activities may not have yielded
the best results is because of noise. This activity demonstrates how you can modify any
of the example programs in this chapter, including the calibration and calibration test
programs, to take averaged measurements and eliminate the effects of noise.
Incorporating Averaging into the Compass Programs
There are three major steps to incorporating averaging into this chapter’s example
programs. First, add a couple of
Then, add four variables to the program's Variables section.
Finally, modify the
