Of course I am sorry, here is the digital part low pass filter:

And yes either there is a typo, that the cutoff frequency should be higher
or (lower robability) the choice of parts is wrong. I am aware, that the
filter is not ideal, but either mistake, I want it to be fixed.
The Besselworth filter also puzzled me, I was not sure what to look for,
because I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. I'd like to correct
that too.
Thank you for your time.
