DAC
About
DAC (digital to analog converter) is a very common peripheral used to convert a digital signal to an analog form.
ESP32 and ESP32-S2 have two 8-bit DAC channels. The DAC driver allows these channels to be set to arbitrary voltages.
DACs can be used for generating a specific (and dynamic) reference voltage for external sensors, controlling transistors, etc.

to be set. Range is 0 - 255 (equals 0V - 3.3V).
dacDisable
This function is used to disable DAC output on a given pin/DAC channel.
void dacDisable(uint8_t pin);
