# WaveMix
WaveMix is an Arduino library to mix two signals (A and B) with an adaptive weight.
## Description
WaveMix is a very simple library to mix two signals (A and B) with an adaptive weight.
Depending on the weights applied the output signal (O) looks more on signal A or on signal B.
A gain can be applied to amplify weak signals or to be used for modulation.

Differences
- simpler algorithm
- WaveMix works on streams of measurements too.
## Interface
```cpp
#include "WaveMix.h"
```
The main functions of the WaveMix:
- **explicit WaveMix()** Constructor
- **bool setWeight(float weight1, float weight2)** set the weight of the channels A and B.
The weights do not need to be normalized, so one can use e.g **setWeight(7, 13)** See below.
The function returns false if the weights sum up to 0. (no changes will be made)
- **float getW1()** return the normalized weight for channel A.
- **float getW2()** return the normalized weight for channel B.
- **bool setPercentage(float percentage)** sets the weight for channel A to percentage.
Channel B will have 100 - percentage.
Returns false if percentage < 0 or percentage > 100. (no changes will be made)
- **void setGain(float gain)** sets the gain factor.
An important use of gain is to amplify weak signals but one can also use it as a modulator of a signal.
See examples.
- **float getGain()** return the gain set.
- **void setOffset(float offset)** sets the offset for the output signal.
Typical used to align the zero level.
- **float getOffset()** return the current offset used.
- **float mix(float s1, float s2 = 0)** returns the weighted average of signal1 and signal2.
Signal2 is made optional to allow single signal processes e.g. modulation by **setGain()**.
## Operation
See examples.
#### Weights
**setWeight()** typically uses positive weights, e.g. **setWeight(7, 13)**
counts A for 7/20 part and B for 13/20 part.
It is also possible to use one or two negative weights.
Using negative weights means effectively the input value is inverted before it is added.
E.g. **setWeight(-1, 0)** would effectively invert signal A.
Only restriction to the weights is that the sum of the weights may not be zero.
#### Amplification
Weights cannot be used to amplify the signal in absolute sense, use **setGain()** for that.
By constantly updating the gain (0..max) one can implement **Amplitude Modulation**.
When the gain is negative, the output is effectively inverted.
## IDEA: N channel variant.
- add **setValue(uint8_t channel, float value)** allow update of channels at a different frequency.
- add **getValue()**, read the current output given the value of the channels. OR
- add **getValue(uint8_t mask = 0xFF)**, read the current output given the value of selected channels.
- add **setMask(uint8_t mask = 0xFF)**, select channels. ease of use? **getValue(mask)** still needed?
- add **getMask()**, read back \_mask;
- note that **mix()** can be implemented with the above functions.
- add **setWeight(uint8_t channel, float weight)** need internal array of weights and \_sum
- add **float getWeight(uint8_t channel)** Normalized or not?
Not normalized allows easier increment per channel. Needs a **float getTotalWeight()**.
- add constructor **WaveMix(uint8_t channels = 8)** with parameter to set the number of channels? \[NO\]
- or do we need **WaveMix2()**, **WaveMix4()**, **WaveMix8()**, or even **WaveMix16()**, **WaveMix24()**, **WaveMix32()** class?
**WaveMix4()** and **WaveMix8()** seems to be realistic in terms of performance.
**WaveMix8()** can be used for 2-8 channels, using a uint8_t mask.
More channels will be much slower, so upon request the 16 and 32 variant? other variants can be obtained by masking.
## Future
#### Must
- improve documentation
#### Should
- performance test.
- investigate N channel idea.
#### Could
- think of integer version
- performance
- integer weights
- math in **int32_t** with last moment float conversion
- Templated version
- float vs double vs int
- maybe upon request.
- dynamic weights
- add **increment(float)**
- add **decrement(float)**
- percentages? hard for multichannel?
- default parameters
- gain = 1.0
- percentage 50%
- offset = 0.0
- **reset()** needed?
#### Wont
- add top clipping
- add **setMaximum(float)**
- add **setMinimum(float)**
- needs an enable/disable per limit.
becomes more complex than let the user constrain the output.
