Hello

I am brand squeaky new to the world of PIC's

I ask that you forgive my ignorance and bear with a stupid question or two.

First, a little background....

I recently purchased the X1 bundle and have been happily trying the neat little programs it comes with to get a feel for BASIC with PIC's.

Now for my question:

Is it possible for a PIC to output an analog voltage level on one of its pins?

I know that you can connect a I2C DAC to a PIC to do this BUT...I'm wondering if that would be redundant or not.

All I really need is for the PIC to output a voltage between 0-2.5V DC for a length of time I specify (multiple of half seconds).

This sounds fairly easy to me but I don't know if a PIC can do this or not.

Can someone point me in the right direction with a piece of code, or tell me I am insane and to get lost!

Hopefully not the latter!

Thanks so much in advance

Robert
