I'm trying to make a data glove that uses flex sensors. I'm using a Lillypad to do so.

Large jumps in data are not useful for me (I"m mostly using as a way to slowly control fades...), and i want to find a way to constrain the data to just registering increases or decreases of X amount. I've already used a number of the patches located here:

I'm just looking for a simple way to have max compare the last number to newest and make a determination about whether or not the difference between the two is greater than or less than the threshold i arbitrarily describe. I've tried using the conditional statements object, but i haven't had it work out for me. I'm just looking for some pointers and maybe a nudge in the right direction.

My issue is as follows:

smoothing-flex-sensor-data

Check out the [slide] object in Max 6 (not sure if it's in earlier versions - if you don't see it, find the [f0.smooth] object on maxobjects). 

There are probably easier ways to do this, and this is in floating point because it came out of another patch.
