Hiya,
    I am using the 16C77 and trying to use the SSP in master mode. Does the
PIC actually do anything for me? I set the mode in SSPCON and setup the
TRISC ports as inputs, stuffed a value into SSPBUF and nothing happened (got
LEDs on the output.

Is there anything else I should be doing (i.e. how do you set the 100khz or
400kHz rate) or is the firmware master mode as much use as a manager in a
crisis (i.e. I have to do all the work myself and bit-bang it?)

If I have to do this, how tolerent is the I2c bus of other things happening?
I will be having a number of other interrupts going off at the same time, so
this could delay any software implementation.

Cheers
Catchy..
