I think the LPF should not be so aggressive.
if you want automatic pulse measurement that remains to be seen, a pretty picture is a different story


you can adjust filter as you see fit

i use for this filter
fv = fv*x + nv*(y)

where x+y = 1, fv = average nv = new value

in pbp terms x y
ave = (ave ** 60000) + (buffer[index] ** 5535 ) ;60000 + 5535 = 65535
or
ave = (ave */ 250) + (buffer[index] */ 5 ) ;250+ 5 = 255

depending on finesse required, the introduced phase shift has no bearing on the result either.
it may not be as fast as your method but has better control and in this case speed is of no importance
