help! spi ADC using PIC

[BeaTk]

I try to connect MCP3001 connect with PIC16f88 but I can't write the program to get the value from the ADC. Could anyone help me with the coding

#include <16F877.h>

#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NOCPD,NOWRT
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)

int x = 0;

void main()

{

setup_spi(SPI_MASTER|SPI_L_TO_H|SPI_CLK_DIV_4);
while(1);
{

spi_write(0x3c);
if(spi_data_is_in())
{
x=spi_read();
delay_ms(11);
}
delay_ms(11);
}
}

I try to use this code but I dont know how to get value from the ADC

You didnt use a CS pin.

Your chip isn't listening because its not selected..... CHIP SELECTED...

Tie an output to the CS pin, output_low before a command and output_high after.

Plus, the code you chose has some syntax problems. Read further in the thread you got it from to see some of the advice given to its author

Also, you may have to look into MODE 00 or 11 for SPI... there are posts about this, one from DougH I think.

Oh, your pic may have to supply the clock to the MCP... so try a
