Audio

write()

Description

Writes an audio signal from a buffer to DAC0 and DAC1.

Syntax

Audio.write(buffer, length);

Parameters

buffer (short) : the named buffer with the audio file.

length (int) : number of samples to write

Returns

nothing

Example

/*

 Demonstrates the use of the Audio library for the Arduino Due

 Hardware required :
 *Arduino shield with a SD card on CS 4 (the Ethernet sheild will work)
 *Audio amplifier circuit with speaker attached to DAC0
