Open Source/Freeware Budget USB DAC

I'd be happy to support your DAC. In fact, I will try to support any DAC that anyone has as long as they let me know what it is and can provide me with an API or give enough info for me to figure it out.

Based on those information found here I have made the hardware of this USB DAC. It works well with the test application and also controls the analog outputs well.
I'd like to drive it using a laser-show software but I need a driver for this. Unfortunatelly, I am not familiar with programing PC to make the driver.
Could anyone help me in making the PC driver?
I would be pleased to have driver to the Spaghetti or Mamba programs, for example.
Any question how to make the DAC hardware, I am realy willing to help.

You use the drivers that came with the sound card, Laserboy and Spaghetti outputs 5.1 wavefiles that you play with your soundcard. Spaghetti can output the waves in realtime and I used windows media player to play Lasertboy waves.
I have not tried the latest versions of these programs, some new developments may have been made.

Carmongary has been cluebyfoured for his behavior, which means you'll have to find his sphegetti support elsewhere on the net, I've heard rumors of a yahoo group.

Sorry for the bad news.

You know, this is awfully similar to the thingy I've been doing with Atmel AVRs in their wonderfully hackable guise as Arduino. I'm even using the same DACs! I chose the AVRs because they're just worlds faster than the PICs and the C compilers don't completely suck.

My project is actually doing closed-loop light output regulation, but even so there are many similarities. I'd post a picture of my lashup prototype board but it's rather embarrassing (there are lots, and lots, and LOTS of wires involved).

I've been using them for USB data gathering for a controls project, and just got a high level basic compiler for them for doing lcd interface stuff. Wonderful chip the AVR.

Awesome, it makes me want to make one! Too bad we don't have a PCB or a Kit (not my skillset).

I am interested in this project as well. Is there any documentation or description about it to share?

If you need a PCB or a Kit contact me privatelly. I can make one for you.


Is there anybody wou can help me to make a driver for Mamba?
