Do you still have that code sitting around?  Even if it's in patch form 
that no longer applies cleanly, I'd be willing to take a crack at 
re-applying it and playing with it.  It may be that it's close to 
working, and could be fixed.

For example, your January 2011 post talks about using a weighted 
[moving?] average.  It may be that switching to a PID controller would 
give better results:

Control theory is a surprisingly subtle subject.
