I've been using the Analog Shield with a UC32 for controlling and measuring different parameters in a physics experiment. I've noticed that for certain voltages, the DAC (and ADC) both have offsets on the order of 10 - 40 mV relative the value that they are being programmed to (or being feed to by a power supply). This offset seems to be random (in that it doesn't follow a specific trend), although it is consistent for the same ADC/ADC. I've also seen that the offset pattern is different for different DAC/ADCs on the same Analog Shield and I've also tested this on different Analog Shields and still seen this issue. This error seems to be much larger than the specified offset error for the DAC and ADC.
Has anyone experienced similiar DAC/ADC offset issues with the Analog Shield? And has anyone developed any clever solutions/compensation libraries to deal with this to get more precise reading?
