WiringPi and the MCP 4802

To connect the MCP 4802 to the Raspberry Pi connect the SPI pins of the MCP4802 like that:


 MCP4802       Raspberry Pi
 
  Vdd           5V
  CS            CE1
  SCLK          SCLK
  SDI           MOSI
  Vss           GND
  LDAC          GND


Before using the Wiring object enable the SPI interface in:

 $ sudo raspi-config

with Commandline

to output some voltage:

$ echo -ne "\x1F\xFF" > /dev/spidev0.1
