Hi.

I'm having a problem which I'm sure there is an easy solution to, but is completely eluding me.

I am receiving information from a switch (connected by an Arduino etc... this aspect works well and is definitely not at fault). This is then feeding a counter, which is displaying an animation in Jitter (which is basically a nice graphic version of what the count output is).

I need to design some sort of process whereby when I get several inputs within a short space of time, it spaces them out so they are 2000ms apart. An example of what I am aiming for would be: 4 bangs go into the counter within a period of 1500ms (this is just a random time which would cause a problem, the choice of 1500ms is not particularly significant, other than it exposes the flaws of my system). The first bang would be output as '1' immediately, the second bang ('2') after 2000ms, the 3rd (3') after 4000ms, the fourth ('4') 6000ms etc.

I've tried a number of solutions, and they seem very complicated (in a badly written sort of a way), and do not work - or only work when certain conditions are met (eg. if I have 3 inputs within the time frame it works, but if I have 2 or 4 it doesn't).

This must be quite a common problem, so I was wondering if anybody had encountered anything like this before?

Thanks! Jamie
