Let's say, for instance, pwmAverage is 10, and pwmNewValue is 20. pwmAverage will never be able to creep toward 20. If the new value of pwm average is 10 < pwmAverage < 11, it will be truncated to 10, and won't ever get to 20.
Hi Paul,
I could look though the code if you would like. Is the source in version controller somewhere public?
Regards,
Sid.
