The RC has the same thing going for it. The only thing I would be concerned with however is that using a rig like this might be a bit cumbersome. Personally I'd use a 100k ohm potentiometer, rather than a rotary switch, and just set specific ranges as certain programs. This could also be reprogrammed to allow for smaller ranges -> more programs. That's up to you though. The math/physics behind the voltage divider idea would stay the same though, you'd just hook it to an analog input on the RC rather than one on the OI.
