Spi communication between two PIC's
PostPosted: Tue Dec 16, 2014 5:46 am     Reply with quote

Hi friends,

I'm developing a project two pic communicates via SPI in, but I have a problem. I send 8 bytes from master to slave and I get eight bytes from slave. I can't get first byte from slave properly. The others are fine. I must get 0 as a first byte but I get 49 which is the ascii value of '1'. How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Master
Code:

            output_low(Slave1);
            spi_write('1');
            output_high(Slave1);
           
            for(i=0;i<8;i++)
            {
               if(control==1)
               {
                  control = 0;
                  receivedData = 0;
                  output_low(Slave1);
                  spi_write(data[i]);                 
                  while(!spi_data_is_in());
                  receivedData = spi_read();
                  output_high(Slave1);
                  control= 1;
                  printf(lcd_putc,"\fdata: %d",receivedData);
                  delay_ms(500);
               }
            }



Slave
Code:

         if(spi_data_is_in())
         {
         
            data = spi_read();
            delay_ms(5);
           
            if(data == '1')
            {
               for(i=0;i<8;i++)
                {   
                  while(!spi_data_is_in());
                  data = spi_read();
                  delay_ms(5);
                  spi_write(i);
                }
             }
          }

Key problem is understanding how SPI works.

With SPI, the master clocks a byte out, and receives back, what was _already loaded_ in the slave register.
In your case, you send '1', so this is in the slave's register. You need to load the slave's register with the first byte, as soon as the '1' is received, not _after_ the next transaction. So:
Code:

         if(spi_data_is_in())
         {
         
            data = spi_read();
            //Don't delay. The slave is synchronised by the master
           
            if(data == '1')
            {
               for(i=0;i<8;i++)
                {
                  spi_write(i); //Write the byte _ahead_ of the transaction 
                  while(!spi_data_is_in());
                  data = spi_read();
                  //again don't delay
                }
             }
          }


You have to 'think ahead' each time, loading the next byte _before_ the master clocks a transaction.

@Ttelmah

Thank you so much for helping. I both solved the problem and understand how it works clearly thanks to you. Thank you
