Feature request: Add 0-5V range for MIO168 AO3+4

Open danielbriggs opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

As mentioned on the discord server: Feature request: It would be excellent if there could be another selectable range on the MIO168 board for analog outputs 3+4 (which I believe are currently only 0-10V output) to enable a 0-5V range.

Even if this range is physically limited to 12/16-bit 0-10V in hardware, having a software locked 0-5V at this half range bit depth would be extremely useful. i.e. not true 12/16-bit 0-5V is absolutely fine for me.

Thanks again, Dan

Not just 10V/5V, but analog to DCP/DCM a generic LIMIT implementation in software would be the way to go I think.

Meaning:

  • [ ] make 'volt:limit' work on analog outputs just as on DCP/DCM?
  • [ ] Have UI buttons on the analog outputs screen of MIO168 to set the limits.
  • [ ] If the output range of the channels is changed the limit is adjusted to min (current limit, max of new range)
  • [ ] If the output type is toggled between current and voltage the limit is removed
  • [ ] Should there also be a minimum (use case: avoid negative voltages)?
