==[[File:Component Icon 09222494_fbef_455b_9651_9e9e46592eb5.png|Image]] DAC (Internal) component==
Provides access to the onboard digital to analog converter (DAC) peripheral allowing for simple analogue output.
Often the DAC output will be very low current and will need amplification using external circuitry to drive anything useful.
