5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Operating the High-Precision AD/DA Board involves configuring the ADC and DAC chips via SPI communication from the Raspberry Pi.
5.1 Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC) with ADS1256
- Conexión de entrada: Connect analog signals to the AD input pinheaders or screw terminals (AD0-AD7). The ADS1256 supports 8 single-ended channels or 4 differential channels.
- Configuración: Use the provided software libraries to configure the ADS1256. Key parameters include:
- Selección de canal: Select the desired input channel(s).
- Ajuste de ganancia: Adjust the programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for optimal signal range.
- Velocidad de datos: Establezca el sampling rate (up to 30ksps). Note that higher sample rates may introduce more noise.
- Vol de referenciatage: Configure the internal or external reference voltage.
- Adquisición de datos: Initiate conversions and read the 24-bit digital data from the ADS1256 via SPI. The DRDY pin indicates when new data is available.
5.2 Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC) with DAC8552
- Conexión de salida: Connect your output devices to the DAC0 and DAC1 pins on the screw terminals.
