Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 7 /** An SPI Master, used for communicating with SPI slave devices at very high speeds
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 8 *
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 9 * The default mbed SPI class allows for communication via the SPI bus at high clock frequencies,
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 10 * however at these frequencies there is alot of overhead from the mbed code.
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 11 * While this code makes sure your code is alot more robust, it is also relative slow.
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 12 * This library adds to your default SPI commands some extra commands to transmit data rapidly with
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 13 * very little overhead. Downsides are that currently it is TX only (all RX packets are discarded),
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 14 * and it requires some extra commands.
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 15 *
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 16 * Example:
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 17 * @code
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 18 * //Send 1000 SPI packets as fast as possible
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 19 * spi.setFormat();
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 20 * for (int i = 0; i<1000; i++)
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 21 * spi.fastWrite(data[i]);
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 22 * spi.clearRX();
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 23 * @endcode
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 24 *
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 25 * As an example, writing 76,800 16-bit data packets to an LCD screen at 48MHz requires 111ms with
frankvnk 2:a8e55f7cbfee 26 * the normal mbed library. With this library it takes 25ms, which is also the theoretical
Sissors 0:600eecd89a78 27 * amount of time it should take. If you are running at 1MHz this will do alot less.
