class DAC -- digital to analog conversion
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
The DAC is used to output analog values (a specific voltage) on pin X5 or pin X6.
|
|
The voltage will be between 0 and 3.3V.
|
|
|
|
*This module will undergo changes to the API.*
|
|
|
|
Example usage::
|
|
|
|
from pyb import DAC
|
|
|
|
dac = DAC(1) # create DAC 1 on pin X5
|
|
dac.write(128) # write a value to the DAC (makes X5 1.65V)
|
|
|
|
To output a continuous sine-wave::
|
|
|
|
import math
|
|
from pyb import DAC
|
|
|
|
# create a buffer containing a sine-wave
|
|
buf = bytearray(100)
|
|
for i in range(len(buf)):
|
|
buf[i] = 128 + int(127 \* math.sin(2 \* math.pi \* i / len(buf)))
|
|
|
|
# output the sine-wave at 400Hz
|
|
dac = DAC(1)
|
|
dac.write_timed(buf, 400 \* len(buf), mode=DAC.CIRCULAR)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Constructors
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. class:: pyb.DAC(port)
|
|
|
|
Construct a new DAC object.
|
|
|
|
``port`` can be a pin object, or an integer (1 or 2).
|
|
DAC(1) is on pin X5 and DAC(2) is on pin X6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dac.noise(freq)
|
|
|
|
Generate a pseudo-random noise signal. A new random sample is written
|
|
to the DAC output at the given frequency.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dac.triangle(freq)
|
|
|
|
Generate a triangle wave. The value on the DAC output changes at
|
|
the given frequency, and the frequence of the repeating triangle wave
|
|
itself is 2048 times smaller.
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dac.write(value)
|
|
|
|
Direct access to the DAC output (8 bit only at the moment).
|
|
|
|
.. method:: dac.write_timed(data, freq, \*, mode=DAC.NORMAL)
|
|
|
|
Initiates a burst of RAM to DAC using a DMA transfer.
|
|
The input data is treated as an array of bytes (8 bit data).
|
|
|
|
``mode`` can be ``DAC.NORMAL`` or ``DAC.CIRCULAR``.
|
|
|
|
TIM6 is used to control the frequency of the transfer.
