Quad 12-bit DAC MCP4728 problem

Projects Libraries
1

Hi, I've been trying to get a "GY MCP4728" break out board to work.
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32975204887.html

I've not been able to find any info on the particular board but with a little guesswork...
I'm connecting it to a 5v ATMega 328P Arduino Mini Pro.
I've connected CL to SCL, DA to SDA, R to GND and I've left L hanging.

I've installed this library:

and tried to compile the example sketch.

First problem. At "Wire.begin(21, 22);" I get the following error:

Arduino: 1.8.7 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (5V, 16 MHz)"

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

So to be honest i don't understand any of that but i took a look at the sketch in the examples folder on the github page and noticed that line of code was different. It reads "Wire.begin();" instead of "Wire.begin(21, 22));".

That version of the code compiles, loads and runs on my arduino but it appears to lock up at " dac.attatch(Wire, 14);".

It does run if a unplug the dac but that's no use :slight_smile:

Can anyone spot any errors or make any suggestions to help me get this module running? Thanks.

@clockworkrobot, you have posted a new question in a very old Thread so I have suggested to the Moderator to move you to your own Thread

I presumed this was the place as the library documentation references this thread but no need to move it as, not entirely sure why but I tried the code here:

and again it wouldn't run, until i disconnected it from the computer then i noticed it was working fine.
I guess it was something to do with the serial out not playing nice with the i2c.
Thanks.

DO NOT HIJACK !

Could you take a few moments to READ THIS.
It will help you get the best out of the forum.

@clockworkrobot, I suggest you now edit your Original Post (in this Thread) and change the Title so it reflects the correct hardware for your question.
