Hi Pedro,

I had a similar problem with an old AOTF which needed 10V but my homebrew controller based on an Arduino microcontroller would only deliver 5V max.
As a workaround I used a simple circuit with the TL084CN op-amp from Texas instrument, combined with the d/a converter  MCP4822. So the Arduino now deliver 0-5V via the MCP4822 which is translated to 0-10V by the op-amp.
Time resolution should be around 10µs but I never tested it.

Regards
