Running an AD5780 via a microcontroller

Hello, I am trying to get this code running

maxgerhardt/arduino-ad57xx-driver/blob/master/src/main.cpp

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <AD5780.h>

void setup() {
	Serial.begin(115200);
	Serial.println("FIRMWARE STARTUP");

	/* same setup as in the RL78G13 driver example's Main.c */
	if (AD5780_Init()) {
		Serial.println("AD5780_Init OK");
	} else {
		Serial.println("AD5780_Init Err");
	}

	/* Resets the device to its power-on state. */
	AD5780_SoftInstruction(AD5780_SOFT_CTRL_RESET);

	/* Enables the DAC output. */
	AD5780_EnableOutput(1);

This file has been truncated. show original

which works perfectly on my MC, but I am not outputting a voltage through my DAC.

I have looked through the datasheet and through the drivers AD5780 - Microcontroller No-OS Driver [Analog Devices Wiki] extensively.

I had to change the SS pin for my setup, but I am basically running this raw. I read 0 from the 3 registers, so I assume that some functionality of the DAc is working?

What could be wrong with why I cannot output a voltage? i've checked that I have the right SPI pins and everything

That's quite a complicated chip - can you post a schematic of how its all connected up and
powered?

Do you have a 'scope?
