I have just finished a first working version of the "output_ild_writer".

Autotrace: http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/

This output module is based on the "output_plt_writer" and the
Frame/Sequence code from KLaserplay
(http://www.linux-laser.org/klaserplay/klaserplay.php4?lang=en).

fyi, the DAC1232 is not cheap: 1 Stück 57.68 EUR

Erich, do you have an electronics retailer for your AD7537KN?

Guido,

The MAX508 has a 8-bit-wide data bus interface. I would use PC3/4 for the additional input control logic.

I would not write my own firmware, but add the 12-bit support to bILDA. There is some pre-work already done:

bilda-output.cpp
/* case BILDA_XY_FORMAT_12BIT:
this->xy_func = bilda_xy ...

Hi,

I am evaluating the possibility to replace the default 8-bit DAC with a 12-bit DAC. I've found this one: MAX508 - Voltage-Output, 12-Bit DAC with Internal Reference and 12-Bit Interface http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/1543 .

The idea is to the use bILDA PCB, remove the two DACs ...
