SPI custom pins

Using Arduino Networking, Protocols, and Devices

Hello,
I wanted to ask if it was possible to remap the pins used for SPI communication. In other words, I would like to have e.g. the SCK assigned to pin 10 and CS to pin 13.
I naively tried modifying the pins_arduino.h file:

const static uint8_t SS = 13;
const static uint8_t MOSI = 11;
const static uint8_t MISO = 12;
const static uint8_t SCK = 10;

but this seemed to do nothing. Am I missing something? This is driving me crazy.

No, SPI is a hardware feature bound to certain pins.

You can use shiftIn() and shiftOut() to get similar functionality and they can be used with any pins.
