ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi,

I am using the last 32 bit version 8.3.9 of Moode for my Pi Zero with a ProtoDAC hat. There are two "driver" options listed :

"ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8" and "ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 (FiFoPiMa)". What is the difference between these two "drivers", and when should one be used instead of the other ?

I use the first driver with my ProtoDAC stacked directly on top of the Pi. 

At a guess, the second driver should be used if you have a stack of the ProtoDAC on top of an Ian Canada FifoPiMa reclocker board. But that's must my 2 cents worth. Best to ask someone who has both.

Regards,
Kent

The FiFoPiMa is an IanCanada reclocker board that goes between the Pi and the ProtoDAC.

The FiFoPiMa requires a particular driver which is why there is a separate entry for it. If you are not using that board then choose "ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8" and you should be all set.

Thanks guys. "FiFoPiMa" looked a million miles from a product name, so I assumed it was some Linux gobbledegook/shorthand. I still wouldn't use the words "catchy" and"FIFOPiMa" in the same sentence !
