Hello,
this might be a very stupid question, however i am very new to spi.
I am trying to connect a Winbond 25Q64FWSIG SPI flash memory ic to my arduino, however other than the power supply pins i don't recognize any of the other pins.
If i'm not asking for too much, can someone tell me how to connect this ic to the arduino?
Datasheet here
(also, you can call me an idiot if you want for asking this)
The Arduino pins are labeled MISO, MOSI and SCK.
Google those so you know what they mean, although you probably did that already.
Then, knowing that the Arduino is the master you can match the pins to the datasheet definitions on the Flash RAM, which is the slave.
SPI uses 4 wires plus ground (and power.)
MOSI stands for Master Out Slave In. It might be called Data-In (DI) on the memory chip.
MISO stands for Master In Slave Out. That would be DO on the chip.
CLK is the clock. It may also be written as SCLK or something else.
CS is Chip Select. Often it is written with a bar over the letters because it is active-low. This can go to any un-used Arduino pin. Pin 10 is special to the SPI subsystem on most Arduinos so that is usually the first choice for CS.
Thanks a lot for the help
