DAC Simulation

Hi, Sorry!

How can I simulate a DAC Output in PE? It's not an very important problem but I can't find an example for it.

Thank you!

It seems that you can't - when simulated the output is just high.

However, you can add sertxd to print stuff in the simulated terminal so you can see what value the DAC is at. Example:
Code: 
#picaxe 14m2
#define simulate
dacsetup %10100000
do
    daclevel 0
    #ifdef simulate then
        sertxd ("Set DAC to ",#0)
    #endif
    pause 2000
    daclevel 3
    #ifdef simulate then
        sertxd ("Set DAC to ",#3)
    #endif
    pause 2000
    daclevel 25
    #ifdef simulate then
        sertxd ("Set DAC to ",#25)
    #endif
    pause 2000
loop
Remove '#define simulate' when you download the program on to an actual PICAXE.

Will this work with MacAXEPad?

Does MacAXEPad have a simulator now?

No, only Programming Editor and Logicator provide simulation modes. I perhaps misunderstood IronJungle's question; the code will work, adding / removing '#define simulation' will include or remove the corresponding 'sertxd' commands, but there is no simulation ability with AXEpad.
