Tool/software:

Hello,

I currently am using a SAMD21 Xplained Pro to communicate with the PGA460. I am having a bit of trouble with understanding the process to write to the device as I cannot directly port the Energia code example since this will be done in MPLABS. I was wondering if there is any code samples for bulk writing all the registers to the PGA460 of UART?

Hi Sahaj,

The ENERGIA example should be referenced for the PGA460 examples. You can also refer to the PGA460 Software Development Guide below for details on writing registers.

In the thread below, Akeem also includes the basic command sequence to check your circuit.
