Hi. I'm trying to send data to MAX541. Everything works ok using even number in "dacData = dacData + 2". I cannot add odd numbers. When I use value 1,3,5,etc summing to "dacData = dacData + 2";, I get a square wave output from DAC. Square wave goes that other half cycles from 0 to 1.25 V. Other half goes from 1.25V to 2.5V. If I send LSB first I get unexpected results. Sometimes output is sawtooth from 0 to 2.5V. However I would need to have sawtooth wave from 1.2V to 2.5V but I it always resets the starting point to 0. I'm using PIC16f18345 and MAX541. V reference is 2.5V. Any help or suggestions please? <<code title=include the mbed library with this snippet>> uint16_t dacData = 625; uint8_t DAC[2] = {0,0}; uint16_t Attack; void DAC_Send() { DAC[0] = dacData >> 8; // MSB DAC[1] = (uint8_t) dacData; // LSB RB4 = 0; SPI1_Exchange8bit(DAC[0]); SPI1_Exchange8bit(DAC[1]); RB4 = 1; } void attack_F() { do { dacData = dacData + 2; DAC_Send(); Timer0Delay(); }while(dacData < 65535); if(dacData == 65535) { dacData = 625; DAC_Send(); } } void main(void) { SYSTEM_Initialize(); SPI1_Initialize(); ADC_Initialize(); INTERRUPT_GlobalInterruptEnable(); //INTERRUPT_PeripheralInterruptEnable(); while(1) { attack_F(); } } <</code>>

Hi John Regarding this condition ##while(dacData < 65535)##, since type of ##dacData## is ##uint16_t##, the only situation to exit the loop is when ##dacData == 65535##, if the increment doesn't not equal to one, the condition might not ever be reached. Regards, Desmond
