Best Single Board Computer for Analog output
Hi All,
I have a Raspberry Pi with some python code that generates 3 different signals with a need to output as an analog signal. I have just realized that the R-Pi has only one PWM output. The Odroid on the other hand has no PWM output at all. I think Arduinos have two analog outputs, but I can't install Linux on an Arduino so it is not suitable for my needs. I wonder if anyone has some suggestion as to what could I do to output three analog signals from a Raspberry or an Odroid. |

you can buy an additional board for RPi to have more PWM output (I have 16).
But PWM is not analog output. And you can find a lot about it on the net, for example: https://circuitdigest.com/microcontr...i-pwm-tutorial |

I have noticed that the adafruit DAC has only one analog output and I need to generate three of them. |

Hi,
You can find many multi-channel DAC but finding one for the Rpi may be limited. What are your sampling frequencies? Range of signal output levels? Simple search for a 12 bit multi-channel DAC gives me; https://www.element14.com/community/...-eeprom-memory You can look at the data sheet; MCP4728 Data Sheet (.pdf) Code:
The MCP4728 device is a quad, 12-bit voltage output Another device that would work with the Rpi would be the https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12918 Quote:
