I'm having issues interpolating a data file, which i have converted from .csv into an X array and Y array where X[0] corresponds to point Y[0] for example.
I need to interpolate between the values to give me a smooth file at the end. I am using a Picoscope to output the function which means each line is equally spaced in time, so only using Y values, which is why I'm trying to do this in a strange way when you see my code.
The kind of values it has to deal with are:
X Y
0 0
2.5 0
2.5 12000
7.5 12000
7.5 3000
10 3000
10 6000
11 6625.254
12 7095.154
So where 2 Y values next to each other are the same its a straight line between them but when they vary like from X = 10 on wards it becomes a sine wave in this example.
I have been looking at the equations for interpolation etc and other posts on here but i haven't done that sort of maths for years and sadly i can't figure it out any more, because there's 2 unknowns and i can't think how to program that into c#.
What i have is:
int a = 0, d = 0, q = 0;
bool up = false;
double times = 0, change = 0, points = 0, pointchange = 0;
double[] newy = new double[8192];
while (a < sizeoffile-1 && d < 8192)
{
Console.Write("...");
if (Y[a] == Y[a+1])//if the 2 values are the same add correct number of lines in to make it last the correct time
{
times = (X[a] - X[a + 1]);//number of repetitions
if ((X[a + 1] - X[a]) > times)//if that was a negative number try the other way around
times = (X[a + 1] - X[a]);//number of repetitions
do
{
newy[d] = Y[a];//add the values to the newy array which replaces y later on in the program
d++;//increment newy position
q++;//reduce number of reps in this loop
}
while (q < times + 1 && d < 8192);
q = 0;//reset reps
}
else if (Y[a] != Y[
