Hey all,
Right now I try to modified the program that come up with the board PIC18f4xk20 starter kit.
After passing rc low pass filter on the board the result are not near sine wave. Could your guys guide me how to do this? I need a sine wave that have very high frequency but right now the most frequency I got is just 1kHz by using prescale of 1:1. How to increase the maximum frequency??

This is the schemetic of the rc low pass filter but I m not sure which type it is and dont know its cut off frequency.
