Using external DAC with IAR / Olimex LPC2129 Kickstart board

Started by gernby2002 October 13, 2006
I'm a newbie to this platform and group, so hello!

I'm curious if any of you have used this particular evaluation board
for parallel I/O. The documentation that came with the board really
blows, so I can't tell if there is a way for me to connect a DAC to
it. Any help is appreciated.

BTW, the board that I have is at:

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
afaik all I/O pins are on the header. So you could e.g. connect a DAC
that interfaces with SPI or I2C.

Another option would be to use a LPC2138/2148 that have a 10-bit DAC
integrated if 10-bit is good enough.
