For those of you that have worked with pics with  an SPI port:

I have tried to replicate the procedures outlined in the user guide and my SPI code
is not working.
All I need to do is send data out of the PIC, a very simple SPI Master.

I first set/clr the appropriate bits in SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT saving SSP enable for
last

I also set both ports to be outputs in the corresponding DDRx register..
when I write to SSPBUF register, there is no action on SDO nor on SCK.

Is there anything wring with the way I initialize my SPI ?
The device I am currently using is 17c756
If more clarification on what bits in the two registers are set, I will provide
that.
Thanks

Marius
