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.
The board's :ref:`/zephyr,user <dt-zephyr-user>` node must have ``dac``,
``dac-channel-id``, and ``dac-resolution`` properties set. See the predefined
overlays in :zephyr_file:`samples/drivers/dac/boards` for examples.
Building and Running for ST Nucleo L073RZ
=========================================
The sample can be built and executed for the
:ref:`nucleo_l073rz_board` as follows:

:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on connector J4 pin 11.
Building and Running for BL652
======================================
The BL652 DVK PCB contains a footprint for a MCP4725 to use as an external
DAC. Note this is not populated by default. The sample can be built and
executed for the :ref:`bl652_dvk` as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: bl652_dvk
:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on pin 1 of the MCP4725.
Building and Running for BL653
======================================
The BL653 DVK PCB contains a footprint for a MCP4725 to use as an external
DAC. Note this is not populated by default. The sample can be built and
executed for the :ref:`bl653_dvk` as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: bl653_dvk
:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on pin 1 of the MCP4725.
Building and Running for BL654
======================================
The BL654 DVK PCB contains a footprint for a MCP4725 to use as an external
DAC. Note this is not populated by default. The sample can be built and
executed for the :ref:`bl654_dvk` as follows:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/drivers/dac
:board: bl654_dvk
:goals: build flash
:compact:
DAC output is available on pin 1 of the MCP4725.
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.
