Overview
********
This sample demonstrates how to use the DAC driver API.
Building and Running
********************
The DAC output is defined in the board's devicetree and pinmux file.
Building and Running for ST Nucleo L073RZ
=========================================
The sample can be built and executed for the
:ref:`nucleo_l073rz_board` as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: nucleo_l073rz
:goals: build flash
:compact:
Building and Running for NXP TWR-KE18F
======================================
The sample can be built and executed for the :ref:`twr_ke18f` as
follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: twr_ke18f
:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on pin A32 of the primary TWR elevator
connector.
Building and Running for NXP FRDM-K64F
======================================
The sample can be built and executed for the :ref:`frdm_k64f` as
follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: frdm_k64f
:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on connector J4 pin 11.
Sample output
=============
You should see a sawtooth signal with an amplitude of the DAC reference
voltage and a period of approx. 4 seconds at the DAC output pin specified
by the board.
The following output is printed:
.. code-block:: console
Generating sawtooth signal at DAC channel 1.
.. note:: If the DAC is not supported, the output will be an error message.
