>>> It's much better to synch to sharp falling edge That was you stating that something is better (without qualification) >> Once again, there is no inherently better approach, >> so please stop making it sound like yours is.

Technically, there are at least 4 SPI variants, including sampling on the rising edge and sampling on the falling edge. A nice sharp falling edge might be good if it is the sampling edge, or might be useless when it is not (might, because some internal action might still occur on the non-active edge). So indeed "there is no inherently better approach", there are just approaches that are less bad in a particular situation. -- Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
