How can I change pins for SPI (STM32F413H-DICO)

Hi everyone, I am using 32F413HDISCO and a simple SPI demo-program: "nucleo_spi_master". On this special board there seems to be an conflict with the WiFi module which uses the same line to SPI MISO (PB_4). So I tried to switch to other pins of the Arduino connector (CN6-CN9). But every time I when change a pin in the mbed::SPI function I got an "pinmap mismatch" error massage.

What's my mistake, how can I change the SPI pins?

my code is:

include "mbed.h"
include "SPI.h"

SPI device(SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCK); DigitalOut chipselect(SPI_CS); DigitalOut led(LED1);

int main() { int i = 0; device.format(8,0); device.frequency(100); while(1) { led = !led; chipselect=0; device.lock(); device.write(i++); device.unlock(); chipselect=1; wait_ms(200); } }

Hello Jens,

It seems that there are no additional SPI pins available at the Arduino headers.
Have you tried to deselect the WiFi module by pulling up the WIFI_SPI_CSN pin (PG_11)?

#include "mbed.h"
#include "SPI.h"

SPI device(SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCK);
DigitalOut chipselect(SPI_CS);
DigitalOut wifi_cs(PG_11);
DigitalOut led(LED1);

int main()
{
    int i = 0;
    device.format(8,0);
    device.frequency(100);
    wifi_cs = 1;        // deselect WiFi SPI slave
    chipselect = 1;
    while(1) {
        led = !led;
        chipselect=0;
        device.lock();
        device.write(i++);
        device.unlock();
        chipselect=1;
        wait_ms(200);
    }
}

Another option could be to keep the WiFi module in RESET mode:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "SPI.h"

SPI device(SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCK);
DigitalOut chipselect(SPI_CS);
DigitalOut wifi_rst(PH_1);
DigitalOut led(LED1);

int main()
{
    int i = 0;
    device.format(8,0);
    device.frequency(100);
    wifi_rst = 0;        // keep WiFi in reset mode
    chipselect = 1;
    while(1) {
        led = !led;
        chipselect=0;
        device.lock();
        device.write(i++);
        device.unlock();
        chipselect=1;
        wait_ms(200);
    }
}

Both suggestions solved my problems concerning MISO PB_4 - thank you very much!
