>>Hi everyone,
>>
>>I have a 16bit data to send to the DAC.  The SPI, as you
>>already know, can only send 8 bits at a time.  How do I break
>>this 16bit data into 2 8bit data so that I can send to the
>>SPI?  Any other method besides breaking the 16bit data?  I am
>>using F452 with C18 compiler.  Thank you in advance!
