MAX7219 Display Driver using hardware SPI
PostPosted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 10:34 pm     Reply with quote

Code tested on PIC18F8722 with 10MHz xtal. Runs OK at 10MHz(HS) and at 40MHz(PLL or H4).
The 'BAUD=10000' in the '#use spi' can also be left out.

Code:

Anyone spots anything daft - please let me know?

Code works OK but 'PCM programmer' has just kindly pointed out that the line that I thought turned 'SPI2' off did not do so - I've corrected the line in this listing:
