spi

[deneve]

Can anyone tell me whether the picaxe chip can be used to control an spi bus?

Many thanks if anyone can explain the details - doing feasability at the moment and don't even understand the spi methodology properly yet but think I will need it for my project

Well, it doesn't have SPI commands as such but depending on the device you wish to control, it can often be achieved.

Have a look at "shift in" and "shift out" in the command manual to get a feel for what is involved.

You will find plenty of infos about using SPI with Picaxe, as well as I2C.

Once you understand the basics of how SPI works, the coding part is really pretty easy.
