 *  
 * DAC to ADC for the PortentaH7
 * Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) and  Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
 * DAC converts a digital signal into analog signal.
 * ADC converts an Analog signal into a digital signal
 *
 * Connect Pin 3V3 to AREF
 * Connect Pin A0 (DAC) to A6
 * Connect Pin A0 (DAC) to Pin 6 (D6)
 *   
 *   Note: Only having luck reading DAC on A6 and D6
 *   
 *
 *  Update August 3rd, 2020
 *
 *  analogWriteResolution(10) assumed default for DAC 0 - 1023 --> 0 to 3.3 Volts
