The SPI.begin() function is used to initialize the bus by setting the SS, SCK, and MOSI pins to the outputs.Spice up your Arduino project with a beautiful large touchscreen display shield with built in microSD card connection. The functions used for SPI programming are given below: If we are using a chip rate of 20MHz, we can use the data speed of 20000000. If we are using a chip rate of 15MHz, we can use the data speed of 15000000. The SPI automatically uses the best speed, which is less or equal than the specified speed number in the SPISettings. We have to declare the SPI library before beginning with the SPI programming in Arduino. The data is captured at the Rising edge, and the output edge is Falling. Mode 3- Here, the clock polarity is 1 (CPOL = 1), while clock phase is 1 (CPHA = 1). The data is captured at the Falling edge, and the output edge is Rising. Mode 2- Here, the clock polarity is 1 (CPOL = 1), while clock phase is 0 (CPHA = 0). Mode 1- Here, the clock polarity is 0 (CPOL = 0), while the clock phase is 1 (CPHA = 1). Mode 0 - Here, the clock polarity is 0 (CPOL = 0), while the clock phase is 0 (CPHA = 0). The state lies on the rising and falling edge of the clock polarity and clock phase. The SPI modes control the shifted in and out state. The clock phase is determined as the data clock signal and clock polarity determines the idle state of the high or low signal. These modes are called the four modes of transmission in SPI. There are four modes of SPI, which combine the clock phase (CPHA), and clock polarity (CPOL). The SPI library allows us to communicate as a master device with the Arduino and the SPI devices. The SPI pins on different Arduino boards are listed below: The pin number of the SPI pins is listed below: Let's discuss the SPI Master and Slave pins on the Arduino board. The individual pins of the SPI master are connected to SS of each slave.

Here, the SPI Master is communicating with two SPI slaves. The arrow sign of MISO is in the opposite direction because it is a slave line that sends data to the master.Īll other lines are directed from the master only. Example 1: Master SPI with a single slave. Let's understand the connection of the Master SPI with a slave.Ĭonsider the below examples. A master in the connection is popularly a microcontroller, and the slave can be a sensor, ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), etc. The SPI uses four lines for communication that are listed above (MISO, MOSI, CLK, and SS). The SPI is a synchronous interface that has a structure of one master and multiple slave communication. It allows us to share the same MISO, CLK, and MOSI with the multiples SPI devices. The device interface with the master, when SS is low.

It is the Slave Select line, which is used by the master. The data generated by the master is synchronized by the SCK. In slave, it works as the input of the clock generator. These are the clock pulses, which are used to synchronize the transmission of data. The MOSI and SCK are driven by the Master. It stands for Master Output/ Slave Input. The slave line in the MISO pin is used to send the data to the master. It stands for Master Input/ Slave Output. The SPI has four lines, which are listed below:

The SPI uses a master-slave architecture, where one Master device controls the peripheral devices. It uses four conductors for data receiving, data sending, synchronization, and device selection for communication. The required connection of SPI is a full-duplex that allows devices to simultaneously sent and receive data.
#SPI ARDUINO SERIAL#
The microcontrollers use the serial protocol to communicate over short distances with one or more peripheral devices quickly. The SPI ( Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial data protocol.
