An ADC value adjusts the amount that gets added. In the case of the exponential curve I am trying to use the RC time constant equation to calculate the value to add to the accumulator. The thing is, the RC time constant formula calculates from time zero, and I need an incremental value. So given the current accumulator value (analogous to voltage on the cap) and the current ADC value (the RC value) I need an equation that gives an increment value to add to the accumulator.
