This content relates to a deprecated version of Mbed

Mbed 2 is now deprecated. For the latest version please see the Mbed OS documentation.

For the latest AnalogOut API, please see AnalogOut.

The AnalogOut Interface is used to set the voltage of an analog output pin. The AnalogOut Interface can be used to set a voltage on pin somewhere in the range of VSS to VCC. Not all pins are capable of being AnalogOut so check the documentation. For more information on what it takes to convert an digital value to its analog representation see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital-to-analog_converter

Example

Create a sine wave

#include "mbed.h"

// The sinewave is created on this pin
AnalogOut aout(p18);

int main()

    while(1) {

            rads = (pi * i) / 180.0f;
            sample = (uint16_t)(amplitude * (offset * (cos(rads + pi))) + offset);
            aout.write_u16(sample);
        }
    }
