I'm quite new to the SPI interface especially when it comes to the arduinolibrary for it.
I've got a sensor which needs to have a firmware uploaded. The firmware is written in ASCII code and should be transmitted through the Arduino to the Sensor.
Is it possible to send a whole text file? And is the Arduino-SPI-Library capable of every device with a SPI-interface? Because as far as I know are delay times and the order of the bits specificly mentioned on every datasheet.
Just like you eat an elephant - one byte at a time.
And is the Arduino-SPI-Library capable of every device with a SPI-interface?
'capable of every device"? The SPI library is capable of communicating with every device with an SPI interface.
Because as far as I know are delay times and the order of the bits specificly mentioned on every datasheet.
Why is that an issue? Data is sent and received one byte at a time. Twiddle your thumbs between bytes for as long as you think you need to. The SPI library can invert the bits, or not, as needed.
haha Okey, I'll split the file up. Any Idea how to do this fast?
I thought that the reason for writing it on every datasheet could be that they are all different and I didn't know how far the structure of the communication is already given by the library.
