--------------Boundary-00=_LYUCQL80000000000000 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable There are two serial modules available on many models of PICs, MSSP and USART. The MSSP can be set to work in SPI or I2C modes, and the USART to work in assynchronous(like RS232, but TTL) or synchronous(SPI). Have a lo= ok in a datasheet to get the information on how to set the USART to synchron= ous operation.=0D =0D However, the USART module does not have all the flexibility of de MSSP wh= en controlling SPI: You have only one clock mode instead of the four modes provided by the MSSP.=0D =0D About speed? Up to fclk/4 bits per second. Even at 4MHz this reaches 1Mbp= s.=0D =0D Lucas Hartmann -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
