Hi:

I am new in programing the Cerebot MX7CK. I am working on a project that uses 2 serial ports (UART) and want to use a sensor with SPI (Sensor: ADIS16210). I use one of the UART ports as the USB to Serial and the other one I connect it to JF Pmod port. The Cerebot MX7CK user manual tell me that there are 3 SPI port to use, one is in the same port of the UART JF Pmod, the other two are in JE and JD. When I try to connect the senor in JD Pmod port the problem starts. I can’t establish the connection through SPI. I double check the pins and I got them right. I will like to know what am I doing wrong?

Here is the info provided by digilent and microchip.

“The following gives the mapping between SPI signals and connector pins: SS1 JD-01 SDO1 JD-02 SDI1 JD-03 SCK1 JD-04 SS3 JE-01 SDO3 JE-02 SDI3 JE-03 SCK3 JE-04 SS4 JF-01 SDO4 JF-02 SDI4 JF-03 SCK4 JF-04”

“The DSPI library supports access to all three SPI ports. The DSPI0 object class is used to create an object used to access SPI1, Pmod connector JD. The DSPI1 object class is used to access SPI3, Pmod connector JE, and the DSPI2 object class is used to access SPI4, Pmod connector JF.”

Here is the code I am using to test it. I am using MPIDE 0023 – 20120903.

  //Initiate an SPI communication instance.
spi.begin();

  //Create a serial connection to display the data on the terminal.
  Serial.begin(115200);

}



void loop()

{


spi.setSelect(LOW);

spi.transfer(0x0C);
spi.transfer(0x00);

spi.setSelect(HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(50);

spi.setSelect(LOW);

byte resultHigh = spi.transfer(0x00);
byte resultLow = spi.transfer(0x00);
spi.setSelect(HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(45);

unsigned int result = (resultHigh << 8) | resultLow;

Serial.print(result, DEC);
Serial.print('\n');

delay(500);

}

The previous code was taken partially from another user for the sensor. Thank you for your help.

I leave a picture of the terminal, if it helps.

On the Cerebot MX7cK, the following is how the DSPI ports are mapped to the Pmod connectors:

DSPI0 - connector JD DSPI1 - connector JE DSPI2 - connector JF

I think that you are using the wrong Pmod connector.
