PIC10F220 RC filter first order

[towlerg]

I a little surprised that the Beaufort scale is averaged in the way you describe. It was originally defined by the visual effects of wind and therefore instantaneous.

When sailing, the current wind speed and the next 10 minutes are infinitely more interesting that the last 10 mins.

Usually Beaufort is given a upper and lower limits in knots or mph (or quite ridiculously m/sec).

The Beaufort Wiki entry makes no mention of averaging.

Hard to believe that the cost of a R/C filter would be prohibitive.

Sorry if that all sounds negative. How are you measuring wind speed?
