voltage - How to Calculate the average of a Square Wave?


I could not figure how to calculate the average of a square wave.


Consider a square wave of +5V from time 0 to 6 sec and -3V from 6 to 10 sec.



On integrating from time 0 to 6 the average: 3.0V


On integrating from time 6 to 10 the average: -1.2V


Thus the total average is : $$3-1.2=1.8V$$


But according to my teacher it results in 4.2V (3 +1.2).


Can anyone explain me the calculation?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
