## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a Raspberry Pi 4?**
A: I am using this board with Raspberry Pi 4 and while it works with it, so far I could only use C language to program it - I am not aware of a Python library for this board.

**Q: Would it be possible to hook this up to a pi zero w? also, would it be possible to just grab the audio data from hdmi with this board?**
A: Yes,It can be used with pi zero w. But I don't know what you mean for 'grab the audio data from hdmi' ,  this item does not include the HDMI Interface .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Waveshare AD/DA Expansion Sheild Board for Raspberry Pi
  

*by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on 17 March 2020*

This board worked well for me once I got some info from the waveshare website and GitHub. It connects directly to the Raspberry Pi. It is better featured than other ads1256 boards, and ethink had the best price.  I want to thank ethink for the help with the order, it got stuck at SFO. My customer representative was first class.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works perfect as expected!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in Germany on 4 September 2020*

Very easy to use. Works with the python3 library in raspberry pi 4B

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Very noisy
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2021*

The WiFi of a Raspberry Pi puts ~ 10 millivolts of noise into both the ADC and the DAC -- these 16-bit components should have noise levels below 100 microvolts. That makes it useless for my application. If you don't use WiFi, you might be able to get it to work. It does work well with a Teensy 4.0 (an Arduino on steroids), which has no WiFi but does have a high-speed USB serial interface.
