| Problem with SPI slave |
 Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2010 7:49 pm |

Hi,
I am getting rather frustrated as I cannot seem to see why my approach for what I am trying to do just does not work! I have two PIC's on separate boards; the first one is a master SPI (PIC18F2480) that gets data from an RS232 serial line, once it decodes the entry value for an address and a numeric value for a dac it sends this information via the SPI port to a second PIC (PIC16F88) that acts as a slave spi device, the second pic uses the hardware spi in slave mode and then uses a software I2C master mode to communicate to 5 separate dacs (MCP4725) the I2C seem to work perfectly and the spi data comming from the master spi pic also appear to be correct if one was to look at it on a logic analyzer that uses the spi logic protocol. In actuality; when I first wrote the code for both of these it appeared to work fine on the Proteus VSM simulation, however in the real world the slave spi does not seem to work.
My data to the slave is as follows: spi mode 1,1 3 bytes as shown below, the first byte is an address for the dac and the second and third byte form the 12 bit data for the dac.
| Code: |
byte1(address) byte2(MSB) byte(LSB)
______ ______ _____ _______

sorry for the lousy text diagram above!
Looking at the data and timing everything looks correct on an SPI logic analyzer, but for some silly reason I cannot seem to get anything more than the first byte (address) received by the slave. I am sure that I am overlooking something or doing something stupid, but after staring at this for a long time, i can't seem to see the problem, perhaps someone else might see the real issue or have a better approach as to how to propperly receive these three bytes correctly. I have included most of my code for both devices, except for the header files. I am using V4.106 of the CCS compiler. Both PIC's are running on internal oscillator @ 8MHz, NWDT,NOMCLR.
Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated! (I believe the actual problem is in the slave code)

Some comments though.
You are not sending mode 1,1.
Mode 1,1, requires:
SPI_H_TO_L | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H
You are transmitting the data on the wrong edge, and currently running mode 1,0
Your receiver is also set for 1,0 though. Mode 1,1, requires CKP=1, CKE=0.
You can't clear the BF flag, by setting it to zero. You have to _read_ the data, which will clear the flag. This flag may well get set, when you first wake up. This is why it is marked in the data sheet as 'R', not 'R/W'.
On all flags like this, you must clear the condition, rather than just trying to change the flag.
Your initialisation, should use something like:
while(BF) spi_read();
to clear the BF flag.

Thank you all,
I did have the incorrect SPI mode selected as indicated, but even after fixing that nothing seemed to work with the SPI slave, I finally got it working by increasing the time between bytes to ~650 us which I think is ridicuosly long, but apparently one thing that seemed to fix the SPI transmission of data was to get rid of the ; spi_read(0); after doing the spi_write(XXXX); on the master spi code? I am not too sure why that would have such an impact. |
