Wave Dac usage on Pioneer kit

great input by COMPACT, you can use the IDAC on PSoC 4 to generate waveforms (V = IR, so you'll need external resistors).

I'm attaching an example of the WAVDAC Component on PSoC 5LP, its a pretty straighforward component that has some initial setup and literally no firwmare to run it.

Btw, you can find this example project and others in the "Find Example Project" window in PSoC Creator.

Yes, I did end up getting the Waveform Dac working with the PSOC 5 LP.  I've actually beeen doing quite a bit with the 5LP on the Pioneer board, and am stunned at just how much can be done on this little board.  The only thing I'm worried about now is how much unplugging I'm doing putting the board into bootloading mode, so that I can download bootloadable projects running off the PSOC 5LP. I'm afraid I'm going to wear out the USB plug.   My solution for now was to get the USBUART working on the PSOC 5LP and using the enumerated serial port on the PC for debugging, which works great BTW.  I really miss the debugging capability though that I lost with the 4 when using the 5LP, so I will be ordering the MiniProg 3 soon to hopefully be able to program and debug the 5LP from that rather than the bootloader.

As a side note, I tested the Waveform DAC out with the arbitrary waveform drawn in the configurator - just wow.  I've gotten the UART to communicate back to the PSOC 4, and I've been working with the 20bit Delta Sigma ADC as well.  As a test I simply routed the Waveform DAC out a pin that was jumpered into another pin with the 20bit ADC.  I then took the converted value from the ADC and sent it out over both the UART, and the USBUART into a couple of different serial ports on the PC. 

I'm actually very impressed with this incredible piece of hardware and value!  You folks at Cypress have really outdone yourselves.

James,

Glad to see you're having fun with the kit! You are right, its pretty feature packed for a small $25 kit like this =)
