I have started looking at STMBL, but it is way, way more complicated than I need at present, and will take some care to strip it down to the essentials. I was looking at the STM32G031 soic-8 $1.72 part, which would be as minimalist as possible, for the present purpose. Too many ways to solve a

The AD7740 v-to-f converters don't work as well as I'd like, and I'm thinking about just using a little microcontroller, like the STM32G031 to do my A/D conversion. While I could generate a pulse train with frequency or period proportional to voltage, I got to looking at bit files that include a
