SPI Slave component

Low level routines for controlling or interacting with an SPI interface. SPI or Serial Peripheral Interface is a bus used for board level communications between devices. A target microcontroller will usually have at least one hardware SPI peripheral built in.

Examples

Simple Master program that sends an incrementing test value to the SPI bus as well as outputting the value onto LEDs.

SPI_Master

Simple Slave program that collects the value sent by the master and outputs the value onto LEDs. Allows the master slave comms to be compared to check that everything is working correctly.

SPI_Slave

Another simple example to buffer incoming SPI bytes sent by the master and output these to the LCD.

Macro reference

GetChar

	GetChar
General purpose SPI get byte macro
- BYTE	Return

Initialise

	Initialise
Activates the SPI peripheral and claims control over the I/O pins.
- VOID	Return

SendChar

	SendChar
General purpose SPI send byte macro
- BYTE	Char
Data byte to send
- VOID	Return

UnInitialise

	UnInitialise
Deactivates the SPI peripheral leaving the I/O pins in a state where they can be used for general purpose I/O.
- VOID	Return
