title: Calculate Coefficients of 2nd Order Butterworth Low Pass Filter
body: <p>With the,  </p>
  
  <p>Sampling Freq: 10kHz<br>
  Cut-off Freq: 1kHz</p>
  
  <p>How do I actually calculate the coefficients for the difference equation below?</p>
  
  <p>I know the difference equation will be in this form, but do not know how to actually work out and come up with the numbers for the coefficients b0, b1, b2, a1, a2  </p>
  
  <pre><code>y(n)  =  b0.x(n) + b1.x(n-1) + b2.x(n-2) + a1.y(n-1) + a2.y(n-2)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I will eventually be implementing this LPF in C++ but I need to know how to actually calculate the coefficients first before I can get anywhere with it</p>
