BC Script help

[aeviaanah]

I'm looking to write a script that reports temperature change in a set amt of time. How would I record a value and use it to continually work towards averaging out Deg F/Min or Deg F/Hr?

Couple things here:

If you want this to persist a script stop/start, use a global, otherwise use a script variable.

Create a global/variable to save your "snapshot in time", then create a global to hold your change value. Every time interval, compare the real time value to the snapshot value, and write this to the change value global.. Once you have the change per time unit, you can extrapolate that out to other time units. Once all the math is done, update your snapshot with the real time value then loop the script and wait for the next update.

Agree with @RiverCityBrewer. Once you have the rate, you can then do weighted averaging of that Global. So with each calculation, add for example 90% of the existing value to 10% of the new value. Let us know if that makes sense or not, and we can try to help you draft it.

Your fermentation script essentially does this right? If so I'll use that as a reference and see if I can come up with something...

Correct, you could modify it multiple ways to get what you want.
