Some miscellaneous analog & digital circuit notes:

Analog filter
The frequency at which the filter attenuates to half it's original power is:
- f = 1 / ( 2 x pi x R x C )
- Where:
- f = frequency in Hz
- R = resistance in Ohms
- C = capacitance in Farads
According to Atmel - a 10 kohm resistor and a 100 nF capacitor produces a filter with a 1 kHz 'crossover' frequency?!? Evil Mad scientist labs suggest a 33 kohm resistor and a 22 uF capacitor. I've been using 1.8kohm and a 10nF capacitor.
To make a high-pass filter, swap the resistor and capacitor.
Variable Resistor
On my Arduino, I see numbers in the range ~90 to ~1020 returned from analogRead(0) depending on the position of the knob. It's very non-linear though.
Switch
The resistor is needed to avoid shorting out the Arduino pin if it's programmed as an output by mistake.
