    Driving A DAC Real Fast With A MicrocontrollerNormally, if you want to blast out samples to a DAC in a hurry, youโ€™d rely on an FPGA, what with their penchant for doing things very quicky and in parallel. However, [Anabit] figured out a way to do the same thing with a microcontroller, thanks to the magic of the Raspberry Pi Pico 2.The design in question is referred to as the PiWave 150 MS/s Bipolar DAC, and as the name suggests, itโ€™s capable of delivering a full 150 million samples per second with 10, 12, or 14 bits of resolution. Achieving that with a microcontroller would normally be pretty difficult. In regular linear operation, itโ€™s hard to clock bits out to GPIO pins at that sort of speed. However, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 serves as a special case in this regard, thanks to its Programmable I/O (PIO) subsystem. Itโ€™s a state machine, able to be programmed to handle certain tasks entirely independently from the microcontrollerโ€™s main core itself, and can do simple parallel tasks very quickly. Since it can grab data from RAM and truck it out to a bank of GPIO pins in a single clock cycle, itโ€™s perfect for trucking out data to a DAC in parallel at great speed. The Pi Pico 2โ€™s clock rate tops out at 150 MHz, which delivers the impressive 150 MS/s sample rate.The explainer video is a great primer on how this commodity microcontroller is set up to perform this feat in detail. If youโ€™re trying for accuracy over speed, weโ€™ve explored solutions for that as well. Video after the break.youtube.com/embed/UaaveknkjBM?โ€ฆhackaday.com/2026/01/21/drivinโ€ฆ

    Who wants to graph in a procedural way?Most of the GEMScript commands are implemented. Currently testing and debugging. Will add some commands such as "encapsulate" = store images into animated GIF89a.#atarist #v4sa #retrocomputing #pixelart

    I genuinely did not expect these three to be the last ones standing. Jose, who wasted a week on a boat and tried to kill himself with Red Tide mussels? Larry, who cannot go an hour without complaining and cursing out every object in earshot?David had a real tough start and did some dumb stuff, but he's doing OK now, and he's the only one eating. I reckon it's gonna be the pastor. I'm actually surprised he's still eating without having preserved anything...but, he's still catching fish.
