LPC1769 SPI clock for receiving (SOLVED)

[lpcware]

Hello everybody!

               I need to set up communnications using SPI peripheral. The LPC1769 will work as master and an lcd controller (RA8875) as slave. I try an example and SPI works good if I only have to transmit. The LPC1769 does not generate clock after trasnmission of a byte. I need clock generation after transmit because the slave needs clock to send the information the master requests. So I need the same clock cycles as if I were transmitting 16 bits. I try to set 16 bit mode and the slave sends the information, but maybe there is a more elegant way to do it. Somebody could help?

                          Thank you!!

Hi.
         So, I am doing it correctly. I have to send dummy data (0x00 is what I actually send) on the MOSI line and meanwhile receive the data from the slave on the MISO line. That is what I actually do, but as I am newbie on SPI communnications, I did not know if I was wrong.

                         Thank you everybody!!

Or to explain things at a slightly higher view point ...

That SPI master clocks out dummy data (usually zeros) after a command send and picks up the returned data
(on MISO) from the slave (however many bits that you are expecting).

I.e the SPI (as a whole) can be considered as a CIRCULAR shift register with half the bits (MSB) physically in
the master and the other half (LSB) in the slave; but treated as a single item.

Wikipedia SPI has some nice pictures.

TTFN, Mike
