Specs

  • SPI interface to MeterBoard system.
  • 16 buffered analog outputs that can source 50mA each (configurable per-channel levels via resistors)
    • 8-bit outputs resolution, so at 50mV full-scale each step is 190uV
      • ~1/3 degree steps on a 90 degree regular meter
      • ~1 degree steps on a 240 degree long-scale meter
