STM32 has a 12bit ADC, but when I read it, the resolution is 10-bit. Why?

Hi folks!
The STM32 series has a 12-bit ADC, but when I'm reading values from AnalogInputs on a Netduino, it's only 10-bit precision (1,024 steps). Why is that? Is there something being lost in the .NET MicroFramework layer? Or is this just how the ADC works?

No.

Maybe. What does the Netduino documentation say?

It doesn't specifiy.
I'm writing that documentation.
I'll go dig around the Microframework code. My guess is that it's set this way to be Arduino compatible.
