Future Support for Iso-Energy Mode ? #2

Description

Hi,
I'm relatively new to EDM machines myself, although I'm considering trying to build one
One of the things I've discovered is that in addition to ISO Frequency mode
There's also something called ISO Energy Mode for more detailed / surface finishes

The general idea is, is to dynamically change the pulse duration at runtime
to keep the amount of energy deposited into the material constitant.
This is similar to controling the amount of current (which you can't currently do with the powercore)

I think it involves reading in the amount of current being used, combined with the gap voltage
then very quickly calculating / integrating the amount of energy actually being used
then use this to control the pulse duration
One of the approaches that might be useful for this could be the RPI Pico's PIO state machines to control the pulse
