[SOLVED] MCP4725 Issue

Post by giannux »

Hello guys, need some help :)

I connected my MCP4725 with my Arduino Mega, uploaded the both sinewave and trianglewave example but somehow the maximum output from DAC was more than 50 V *surprised

I have tried another MCP board (I bought more than one), and the result was same.

any idea what I did wrong?

thank you

Check your scope and probe settings. You probably have the probes on 1x attenuation and the scope configured for 10x.
