[sdiy] Digital filtering of pot input

[rsdio at audiobanshee.com]

Doesn't this mean that you can't reach the top and bottom of your pot?

For example, if you have an 8-bit ADC ranging from 0 to 255, and H is 2, then your values would only range from 2 to 253. Some of the time, it would only reach 3 to 252, depending upon how fast the user turned the pot and when the ADC scanned the input.

I suppose it doesn't matter if you're scaling the value to create the final parameter, since you could just scale 3..252 as a range of 250 and make it work.
