Kalman filter


In few projects I've needed the Kalman filter to suppress the noise and other inaccuracies especially from accelerometers. Below is a nice picture from a live stream of data transmitted by the ESP8266 LDR over websockets to an application server written in javascript. The data received in the browser looks like:






With red is raw data and with white is the predicted data after the Kalman filter was applied.

Since this Livarno bulb refused to work after few months of fine operation I decided to dismount it.








Power supply was covered in rubber and it take a while to clean it between the components.








32 LEDs are used for this bulb. I've tested few of them with a 5V power supply and are very bright (don't look at them since is not a nice feeling after that)




Here is the power supply. Still has rubber left between components.
