I2C RDAC subaddress select for AD5242 potentiometer

I have rdac 1 working fine on this pot. Rdac 2 will not work. I'm suspecting that I'm not getting the instruction byte correct. I'm using 16. I've also tried some other values with no response. I just thought I'd get some more experienced eyes to look at it. Any help is really appreciated. I've been working for a long time on this problem and I think I've almost got it working, but I'm missing something.

I have no clue how you get to 16 but I would try 0x80.

I used bits 10000 converted to decimal.
1 to select rdac2
0 to need to midscale reset
0 no need for shutdown
0 no need to activate 01
0 no need to activate 02

Then it says ignore the rest, which seems weird to me, but I had to ignore the last bit to get the master address so it isn't that far fetched I guess.

Where am I wrong? How did you get 0x64? I'm going to try it I'm just wondering what led you to that.

Ignore means you can use any value but you have to use the complete byte.

I simply used binary 10000000 which equals 0x80.

I wrote nothing about 0x64.

I apologize. I responded saying 0x64 was from memory. A bad memory. :slight_smile:

I do appreciate your help and explanation. I killed the chip gotta get another before I can continue.
