Yes I’m still using the DAC

I will try this tonight and report back! Thanks very much for looking into a solution for this setup.

No worries and at this point I’m responsible for any explosions 🙂 Only thing is I hate removing these little resistors, I had to change 6 of these on the pico buck to get to 1A per channel. Thankfully I now have a little more experience.
