Hey,
I'm working on a project in which I'll use the Octo soundcard for capturing, processing, and outputting DC voltages.
Using PD (Pure Data) for signal generation and a digital o-scope for measurement, me and my colleague managed to output DC voltages (directly from positive pins, not using breakout RCA boards) of approx. 0.77V (@amplitude of -1), 2.44V(@ 0) and 4.2V(@ +1). The negative pins output an inverted signal (same p-p though).
The DC INPUT testing (not using breakout RCAs) was a bit confusing.
There's a channel number re-assignment problem when Pure Data gets opened and closed or when RPi gets rebooted. I've read it can be related to a driver problem?
Getting the AC signals into PD was easy but there was no such luck with DC - so I'm
wondering whether DC capturing has been tested/proven to work?
If it has - could it be that there's a DC filter somewhere in RPi signal path (JACK, etc.)?
Otherwise, it's a great card & hats down for developing a custom IC!
Thank you for your answer, best,
Staš
