Is the Arduino fast enough to do similar?
- ra 16y agoFrom my limited understanding, Arduino's PWM maxes out at about 500hz. SPDIF needs a data rate of about 6.2 MHZ. EDIT: Although you might be able to get an I2C signal out and use that as an alternative to SPDIF.
- woodson 16y agoThe article suggests that it is probably not: "It may also be possible to implement S/PDIF on a sufficiently fast single-core microcontroller. Unfortunately, an 8-bit µC like the AVR used in the popular Arduino board probably wouldn’t be fast enough." Perhaps because even if it is fast enough for S/PDIF encoding, you'd want to do other things with it, e.g. synthesizing.
