how to get an anakog input

The Spartan FPGAs have no A/D converters built in so there in no easy way to sample an analog voltage directly. There are hacks where you could use a couple of pins and some external logic to make an A/D but frankly your best bet is to buy an A/D converter. I suggest you look at http://digilentinc.com in their PMOD section and buy something suitable. I have personally purchased a PmodAD2 which is a serial (SPI) A/D based on a AD7991 chip with four analog inputs and I would recommend that.

 

Also I should say that since the Papilio can't accept PMODs directly you need some accessories such as these to hook up PMODs to the board.
