Detailed Description

A SPI Master, used for communicating with SPI slave devices.

The default format is set to 8-bits, mode 0, and a clock frequency of 1MHz

Most SPI devices will also require Chip Select and Reset signals. These can be controlled using <DigitalOut> pins

Example:

 // Send a byte to a SPI slave, and record the response

 #include "mbed.h"

 // hardware ssel (where applicable)
 //SPI device(p5, p6, p7, p8); // mosi, miso, sclk, ssel

 // software ssel
 SPI device(p5, p6, p7); // mosi, miso, sclk
 DigitalOut cs(p8); // ssel

 int main() {
     // hardware ssel (where applicable)
     //int response = device.write(0xFF);

     // software ssel
     cs = 0;
     int response = device.write(0xFF);
     cs = 1;
 }
