The Simplest Digital Filter (STM32 Implementation) - Phil's Lab #92

How to implement a simple digital filter (low-pass and high-pass exponential moving average (EMA)) on a real-time embedded system (STM32 + audio codec). Useful for noise reduction, removing DC offsets, and more in simple situations. Discussion on filter basics, advantages & disadvantages, theory, implementation in C, and real-time time- and frequency-domain tests.
