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"

 SPI device(p5, p6, p7); // mosi, miso, sclk

 int main() {
     int response = device.write(0xFF);
 }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SPI ( PinName  mosi,
PinName  miso,
PinName  sclk,
const char *  name = NULL 
)

Create a SPI master connected to the specified pins.

Pin Options: (5, 6, 7) or (11, 12, 13)

mosi or miso can be specfied as NC if not used

Parameters:
mosiSPI Master Out, Slave In pin
misoSPI Master In, Slave Out pin
sclkSPI Clock pin
name(optional) A string to identify the object

Member Function Documentation

static void add_rpc_class (  ) [static, inherited]

Add the class to the list of classes which can have static methods called via rpc (the static methods which can be called are defined by that class' get_rpc_class() static method).

Definition at line 143 of file Base.h.

void format ( int  bits,
int  mode = 0 
)

Configure the data transmission format.

Parameters:
bitsNumber of bits per SPI frame (4 - 16)
modeClock polarity and phase mode (0 - 3)
 mode | POL PHA 
 -----+--------     
   0  |  0   0 
   1  |  0   1
   2  |  1   0 
   3  |  1   1

Reimplemented in SPIHalfDuplex.

void frequency ( int  hz = 1000000 )

Set the spi bus clock frequency.

Parameters:
hzSCLK frequency in hz (default = 1MHz)

Reimplemented in SPIHalfDuplex.

virtual struct rpc_method* get_rpc_methods (  ) [read, virtual]

Returns a pointer to an array describing the rpc methods supported by this object, terminated by either RPC_METHOD_END or RPC_METHOD_SUPER(Superclass).

Example

 class Example : public Base {
     int foo(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
     virtual const struct rpc_method *get_rpc_methods() {
         static const rpc_method rpc_methods[] = {
             { "foo", generic_caller<int, Example, int, int, &Example::foo> },
             RPC_METHOD_SUPER(Base)
         };
         return rpc_methods;
     }
 };

Reimplemented from Base.

static Base* lookup ( const char *  name,
unsigned int  len 
) [static, inherited]

Lookup and return the object that has the given name.

Parameters:
namethe name to lookup.
lenthe length of name.
const char* name (  ) [inherited]

Returns the name of the object.

Returns:
The name of the object, or NULL if it has no name.
void register_object ( const char *  name ) [inherited]

Registers this object with the given name, so that it can be looked up with lookup.

If this object has already been registered, then this just changes the name.

Parameters:
nameThe name to give the object. If NULL we do nothing.
static bool rpc ( const char *  name,
const char *  method,
const char *  arguments,
char *  result 
) [static, inherited]

Use the lookup function to lookup an object and, if successful, call its rpc method.

Returns:
false if name does not correspond to an object, otherwise the return value of the call to the object's rpc method.
virtual bool rpc ( const char *  method,
const char *  arguments,
char *  result 
) [virtual, inherited]

Call the given method with the given arguments, and write the result into the string pointed to by result.

The default implementation calls rpc_methods to determine the supported methods.

Parameters:
methodThe name of the method to call.
argumentsA list of arguments separated by spaces.
resultA pointer to a string to write the result into. May be NULL, in which case nothing is written.
Returns:
true if method corresponds to a valid rpc method, or false otherwise.
virtual int write ( int  value ) [virtual]

Write to the SPI Slave and return the response.

Parameters:
valueData to be sent to the SPI slave
Returns:
Response from the SPI slave
