Pardon my naivete, but how would one change the example below to make use of the full 14-bit resolution of the LJTick-DAC with a U3?

I'm sure it's only a line or two, but this is new territory for me.

No modifications are needed

No changes are needed to run that example with a U3 and LJTick-DAC with 14-bit resolution. It will use the first found U3, and by default configures the LJTick-DAC on FIO4/FIO5, and sets its dacA and dacB to 2.2 and 2.3 V.

Ah. Just kidding then. I read

Ah. Just kidding then. I read the toDouble() function's comments as 8-bit rather than 8-byte, and thought that was setting the LJTick-DAC's resolution. First time dealing with I2C. Disregard.
