Thanks guys.  As far as the wiring goes I am all set.  I have the three displays wires all on the same bus except for the Slave "CSN" wire which is on a different pin on the Arduino.  For me, that was the easy part.

The code on the other hand is what I am trying to learn how to do.  I was looking for more example code to help me figure this SPI thing out.  

@Ran, I was wondering if Slaveselect in Busaboi's code was a special function from the library, so you cleared that up for me.   And yes, I need all three displays to simultaneously display constantly updating information.

Also, Busaboi doesn't call up the SPI.h library that I have seen.  Is it unnecessary to do so?

Hey, I got 4 of these and am still floundering a little with the SPI.

Have you used this in a project yet?  I got your code to work great, but I am trying to do some other stuff..

I have 1 arduino I want to display
       1)  Elapsed Time
       2)  Temperature
       3)  Calculation (based on those first two numbers)

The whole Master/Slave coding I haven't discovered yet.  Any help guys?

Thanks,

BLake

These are what I was asking about.

Hey guys, it doesn't look like this was ever answered proper.  I have a similar need:

I need to run 3 separate 8-segment LED displays independently.  Meaning, 1) Stopwatch Timer  2)  Temperature  3)  Calculation

Is three of these overkill? Sparkfun 7-Segment Serial Display
sku: COM-09230

Can the Arduino handle all that?

Thanks!
