Hi there, I'm hoping to use the tsunami for frequncy generation in a circuit which currently has two inputs
1) a triangle or sine wave
2) a square wave of the same frequency (clock)

BUT, the sine wave must be 90 degrees out of phase with the clock. Can I program the tsunami to do this? Seems like the DDS has the capability but I don't see this in the tsunami documentation.

Thanks in advance,
Randy

Would still be nice to know the answer to this--but I have changed my design to create 90 degree phases from the incoming waveform, so no worries.

Tsunami can certainly do this, but there aren't yet setPhase methods in the Arduino library. I've opened a bug to remedy this.

The main reason I haven't added them yet is because I was uncertain about the interface. Floating point phase between 0 and 1 is most straightforward for the programmer, but floating point code is slow. Integer phase between 0 and 2^n is efficient, but harder for new users. Providing two overloads is a bad idea because the two options have different domains.

What would be most useful for you? Any thoughts?

I like the integer-based method.

Floating point is ugly. For one thing the programmer will be unsure of any round-off error and how the device might interpret it. Worst case you ask for phase n+epsilon and get n+1 or n-1.

In either case documentation is key.
