I had an idea of a way to measure analogue voltages with EMC2 a few days ago.

It ought to be possible for a HAL module to send a sawtooth PWM signal
on an output pin, and monitor one or more input pins. Externally a
PWM-voltage conversion circuit and a bank of comparators would switch
the input pins when the variable pwm-generated voltage was greater
than the voltage to be measured.

This is a fairly normal analogue voltage measurement technique, but
puts the cleverness inside HAL, where EMC2 can see it.

Sampling period would probably be several mS, but that is probably OK
for many uses.

The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong.
