The Atmega is a simple uP for programming and implementing. It runs at 16Mhz. Since I have increased the resolution when I implement pwm I have decreased the pwm frequency, which has ramifications when I filter out the AC component. I might want to use a chip with a frequency of 64Mhz, which would allow me to get a cleaner signal.

Does anyone know of some possible candidates that have available software platforms for programming in C?

Link2

It uses PWM, but also has 2 12bit D/A converters.

72Mhz, and arduino compatable-ish.



Link2

This one was recommended to me, but isn't Arduino compatible, and doesn't (AFAIK) use PWM.

The ET-STM32 Stamp Module have the same hardware peripherals as the Maple board, in addition it has 3 times as much memory, SDIO, I2S and DACs. It is missing the USB bootloader and uses RS-232 instead. I got a couple of those and they work very well.

Both will be suitable for the task.

would the ET-STM32 stamp run code written in the Maple's IDE?

Can you overclock the micro for a quick and dirty solution? Depends what you're trying to achieve I suppose

Or an external DAC, but it sounds like you'd need a fast bus

If I overclock I'm going to have to start worrying about fluid cooling it, and I don't want to go there.

Right now I am going to change the crystal from 16 to 20Mhz. The chip is rated for this. It needed 16Mhz for the programming board.

This should be adequate. From what I have learned I would have to go with a different family of chips, and this means more, unnecessary work.

keep in mind that changing the crystal will screw with all timing. any serial communication, wait, etc.

Anything that has to do with time.


Arduino has been overclocked

I could not find any reason why it should not work. First program the bootloader over RS-232 then make a USB cable. The documentation is the source code so it is hard to tell. They seem to have different boards with different models of the chip so it seems like the code is designed to handle it.

That's the beauty of my application...I'm not using any of these features. I'm just using the uP and some digital ports.
