| how to transmit data in spi slave mode? |
 Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:14 am |

I have gotten an SPI slave interface operational with a PIC18LF2620. The interface successfully inputs data (on the SDI pin, pin C4) into the hardware input register based on an externally provided clock (on the SCK pin, pin C3). When 8 clocks are received, the INT_SSP ISR reads the value with spi_read() correctly.
How do I preload a value to be shifted out the SDO pin (pin C5) when the external clocks are received? Can I preload the output register with spi_write() and the value will be written when the clocks come in? How can I simultaneously read the value and write a value based on the external clocks? |

Here's a demo program that shows one way for an SPI master to read
single bytes from an SPI slave. It doesn't demonstrate writing data to
the slave (only reading). It sends commands to the slave and gets back
a data byte for each command.
Here's a typical output of the program, as displayed on a terminal
window on a PC:
| Quote: |
Commands to slave are:
A: Read ADC
B: Read switch
C: Read counter
Press a key to send a command
ADC value = 78
ADC value = 9E // Started turning trimpot knob
ADC value = AE
ADC value = CB
ADC value = F7
Counter = 00
Counter = 01
Counter = 02
Counter = 03
Counter = 04
Switch = 01
Switch = 01
Switch = 01
Switch = 01
Switch = 00 // Pressed and held down the switch
Switch = 00
Switch = 00
Switch = 01 // Released it
Switch = 01 |
Connections between the boards:
| Code: |
Master Slave
SCLK --> SCLK
SDO --> SDI
SDI <-- SDO
\CS --> \SS
GND <--> GND
|
Also, the Master board should be connected to a PC with a RS-232
cable, and a terminal window should be opened. This allows the user
to type in commands and see the data returned by the SPI slave.
This program is very simple. It doesn't use a complicated protocol.
Commands are non-zero bytes. The list is given in the source code
below. The master sends a command byte. This will be received
by the slave and it will get an #int_ssp interrupt immediately after
getting the byte. The switch-case statement in the isr will interpret
the command and put the response byte into the SSP buffer.
The master must wait for several microseconds to give the slave
enough time to respond, before the master requests the response byte.
This is done by the master calling the spi_read(0) function with a
parameter of 0. Because the parameter is 0, the switch-case statement
in the isr will not interpret it as a command. The previously filled SSP
buffer contents in the slave will be clocked into the master, and the
master will thus get the response byte. (An #int_ssp interrupt will
occur when the master requests the response byte, but the isr won't
do anything, since a "command" of 0x00 is ignored by the switch-case
code).

This code works very well. Show bidirectional communications, use interrupt. It solves all my questions.
Thank you PCM Programmer |

Yes. this program works well. thanks PCM Programmer.
if i were to read continuous ADC from slave and pass to master, is there a faster way (because we have to provide delay_us(100); // Give slave some time to respond) ?
my objective is to continuously read real-time adc from 40 slave PIC and pass the results to master. if i reduce delay to 10us, the result returned false data. |

The time needed for the delay, depends on the speed of the slave, and what else it may be doing.
Typically it takes about 30 instructions to get 'into' an ISR. The slave code then has to read the command byte, and do a branch dependant on the value (perhaps 20 instructions), so with a 4MHz slave, I'd suggest that 75uSec for the delay would probably be OK. 100uSec, is a 'slightly larger, safe value'. However if the slave was running at 20MHz for example, though the number of instructions needed remains the same, the time needed would only be 1/5th.
Conversely though, if the slave was also doing some other job, like handling serial using an ISR, the 'worst case' instruction count, would be where it has just entered the serial ISR at the moment the SPI request arrives, where you would have to allow time for it to complete this ISR, exit, and then have the new ISR called.....
Remember though you can commonly provide a delay, by doing something else. So (for example), it'd perhaps make sense to see if you could do something like send the SPI command, and then write the 'header' text to your display, then read the value, and write the actual returned data. That way you are making 'use' of the time needed doing something worthwhile.

I changed to PIC18F13K22 and use the internal 64MHZ frc. However, the delay_us(100) can only reduced to 26us. If I reduced to 25us, the adc result passed to master will be incorrect. So, I guess the delay also provide some room for adc conversion to complete. Thanks Ttelmah!!!
To overcome the problem, I decided to use ADS7884, an adc with 3Msps and SPI interface.
I have one more question. I am about to interface the with 70 SPI slave devices. Do I need to put buffer/pull up for sck, sdo, sdi or cs lines? Each slave will be on their own pcb.
Just to share my code as below.
Is my internal 64MHz PLL declaration is correct? Any code improvement suggestion?

The reason for your need for such a long delay, is doing the ADC conversion in the interrupt. The ADC conversion takes 12 cycles of the ADC clock. Move the conversion into the main loop. Just have this taking a reading every few mSec, and putting the value into a variable. Then in the SSP code, just transfer the contents of this byte. You will find your delay can plummet...
Also though, read the data sheet. Is ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL, legal at 16MHz.....

I simply want to send data through Master to Slave, no response or feedback from slave is required. Also at the slave side I want to use interrupt, so that whenever master sends data slave receive's the data.
My question is that which mode I select for transmitting data as in the PCM programmer code there are 4 mode, I think I have to use mode 1 because it is unidirectional data transfer. What changes I have to do in interrupt routine for receiving data? |

This thread has a SPI slave example that only receives data from the
master. It saves the data in a circular buffer.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26888
The program also has code for a software SPI master. You can remove
the master routines.
There are 4 SPI modes. They have nothing to do with the direction
of transfer. Just use Mode 0. |

Thanks PCM Programmer
Can you give me a code which is based on hardware, the given link uses a software spi.
Also I want to send 3 floating numbers not integers from master to slave, kindly give examples for that also. |

The slave side uses hardware SPI.
I don't want to write the program for you. I only wanted to post the
example code. |

I have done it a long time ago. Send the floating number from master to slave but it was not interrupt driven, but know I want it to do interrupt based.
I done something like this
For breaking float into byte I used the following macro
| Code: |
#define GetByte(x, offset)\
*((int8 )&x +offset)
|
for sending data i done like that
| Code: |
b0=GetByte(value1,0);
b1=GetByte(value1,1);
b2=GetByte(value1,2);
b3=GetByte(value1,3);
spi_write(b0);
spi_write(b1);
spi_write(b2);
spi_write(b3);
|
At the slave side for combining byte into float I use this macro
| Code: |
#define MakeDWord(x, b3, b2, b1, b0) \
*(int8 )&x = b0; \
*((int8 )&x +1) = b1; \
*((int8 )&x +2) = b2; \
*((int8 )&x +3) = b3
|
and read the data like that
| Code: |
float readnum(void)
{
int8 b0,b1,b2,b3;
float result;
output_low(PIN_A5);
delay_us(100);
b0=spi_read(0);
b1=spi_read(0);
b2=spi_read(0);
b3=spi_read(0);
MakeDWord(result, b3, b2, b1, b0);
//printf("5 %f \n\r",result);
output_high(PIN_A5);
return result;
}
|
What I have to do is that I want to use interrupt for receiving data because both master and slave performing other tasks so it is better to use interrupt. |
