For instant particule counters, such as the Plantower PMS or Nova SDS, which provide instantaneous (in few seconds) particulate matter readings, the data is usually reported every minute. This data is usually computed based on several "averaged" readings from a one or two minute period.

The use of averaging is however not good enough, especially for failing sensors (or sensor close of end-of-life). Therefore, for such sensors, it is required to provide additonal metrics, such as the median, min, max, and standard-deviation. See for example the readings object in the below JSON data feed.

..

You can use the following arduino-compatible code to collect those metrics:

class Accumulator 
{ 
    #define OUTPUT_BUFFER_SIZE 120 
    char buffer[OUTPUT_BUFFER_SIZE]; 
 
    #define MAXACCVALUES 120 
    int vals[MAXACCVALUES]; 
 
    int count = 0; 
 
public: 
    Accumulator() 
    { 
        reset(); 
    } 
 
    void reset() 
    { 
        count = 0; 
        for (int i=0;i< MAXACCVALUES;i++)  
        { 
            vals[i]=0; 
        } 
    } 
 
    bool hasData()  
    { 
        return count!=0; 
    } 
 
    std::string output()  
    { 
        if (!hasData()) return std::string("{}"); 
 
        sprintf(buffer, OUTPUT_BUFFER_SIZE, "{\"min\":%d,\"max\":%d,\"median\":%d,\"average\":%.1f,\"stddev\":%.1f,\"count\":%d}",  
            vmin(), vmax(), median(), average(), stddev(), count); 
 
        return std::string(buffer); 
 
    } 
 
    void add(int val) 
    { 
        if (count==MAXACCVALUES-1) { 
          for (int i = 0; i < MAXACCVALUES - 1; i++) { 
            vals[i] = vals[i + 1]; 
            } 
            count --; 
        } 
        vals[count++]=val; 
    } 
 
    float stddev()  
    { 
        if (!hasData()) return -1; 
        int u  =avg(); 
        int t = 0; 
        for (int i=0;ivals[j]) { 
                    float t = vals[j]; 
                    vals[j]=vals[i]; 
                    vals[i]=t; 
                } 
  
            } 
        } 
        return vals[count/2]; 
    } 
 
    float avg()  
    { 
        if (!hasData()) return -1; 
        float t = 0; 
        for (int i=0;ivals[i]) { 
                t=vals[i]; 
            } 
        } 
        return t; 
    } 
 
    float vmax()  
    { 
        if (!hasData()) return -1; 
        float t = vals[0]; 
        for (int i=0;it) { 
                t=vals[i]; 
            } 
        } 
        return t; 
    } 
};
