Software SPI
PostPosted: Sat Jun 26, 2004 9:57 am     Reply with quote
I am surprised I can’t find a software SPI implantation in the collection of inbuilt functions. I am using a 16F871 and Microchip decided to delete the hardware SPI. Instead of plugging in the more expensive 16F877 device I was wondering if there is any software implantation issues? I will only be writing (to one of Microchips digital pot IC’s), it looks like I can bit bash it out, is it really that simple? If so can I add it to a “wish list” for the next compiler revision :=)

Check this thread,

The only issue (if you need it, and you probably don't) would be speed.

Top job, thanks. Saves me having to write that :-) Thanks again. I am trying to keep the costs down on this project as there are going to be a decent volume of them, hence the penny pinching. The PIC is going to be the most expensive part!

Keep well,

Will
