## Description

The M5Stack DAC2 Hat is a precision digital-to-analog conversion unit engineered for seamless integration with StickC series controllers. Featuring the GP8413 solution, this sophisticated device delivers exceptional 15-bit resolution across dual independent 0-10V analog outputs with remarkable accuracy - achieving a mere 0.2% output voltage error and 0.01% linearity.

### Key Features

- Dual-channel 15-bit digital-to-analog conversion
- Selectable 0-5V or 0-10V output ranges
- Ultra-precise output with just 0.2% voltage error
- Superior 0.01% linearity performance
- I2C communication with default address 0x59
- 3-bit hardware addressing enables parallel connection of up to 8 devices
- Built-in output short-circuit protection
- Operating temperature range: 0-40°C

### How to Use

The DAC2 Hat connects directly to M5Stack StickC series controllers including the [M5Stack Core2 ESP32 IoT Development Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/m5stack-core2-esp32-iot-development-kit-48597.html) through the built-in HAT interface. Configuration is handled via I2C communication, with the default address set to 0x59. Multiple DAC2 Hats can be connected in parallel by configuring unique addresses through the 3-bit hardware addressing system.

For protection during operation, the integrated short-circuit protection automatically shuts down outputs if a connection to ground is detected, preventing damage to the device and connected equipment.
