Attaching Microcontroller to DAC evaluation board For an independent undergraduate research project I'm trying to construct a digital feedback loop. I have never used an Arduino, or done much electrical/computer engineering, so I'm just taking things one thing at a time. 
I've been given this
microcontroller
and this DAC eval board, and now I'm just trying to put them together. 

From reading, I need to  attach jumper cables from #16 here to 

the pins on the Eval Board here, 


but I don't know where to find information on them, so I don't know which to plug into what. Any advice?
Your DAC uses the SPI protocol.  For that you want to connect it to the SPI header. That's the 6-pin (3x2) header numbered 11 on the uC32.

Connect:


The uC32's SCK pin to the DAC's SCLK
The uC32's SDO pin (MOSI) to the DAC's SDIN pin.
The uC32's SDI pin (MISO) to the DAC's SDO pin.


The other pins (I am not sure what they all do off hand, but the datasheet details them) can connect to any GPIO pins you like (except pins 11-13 which duplicate the SPI header - so you could use those instead if you prefer - 11=MOSI, 12=MISO, 13=SCK).
