MODDMA bug?

# 13 Nov 2011

Hello,

I've been trying to create a repetitive pulsed output to the DAC using the MODDMA library.

I have found that when calling dma.Setup and dma.Enable or the equivalent Prepare function, the DMA call back does not always occur. (I have not tested the physical output so this may or may not be occurring every pulse).

The code below sets up the DMA configuration, attaches a timeout function "myhandler", enables the DMA transfer, and repeats this 1000 times. The PC serial connection, receives notification if the call back has occurred or not. Out of the 1000 times 971 call backs were made. This number changes with different timing parameters.

Please let me know if this is a DMA problem or I am just doing something fundamentally wrong.

Thanks, Jeff
