SPI interrupt

This example application demonstrates how to use the SPI peripheral to transmit and receive a block of data using interrupt.

Description

This example shows the transmit and receive operation over a SPI interface in a non-blocking manner. The peripheral interrupt is used to manage the transfer.The example application transmits known values from an array and verifies the data received through the loop back by comparing the transmitted data and the received data. The example application performs the loop back test only once after a power on reset. After the loop back is complete, the status of the loop back is indicated and the application remains idle. The loop back test requires the MOSI output pin to be connected to the MISO input pin so that anything transmitted will also be received.

Setting up PIC32MK GP Development Kit

  • Use a jumper wire to short pin MOSI and pin MISO of the J1 connector
  • Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable.

Setting up PIC32MK MCJ Curiosity Pro Board

  • Connect micro USB cable to the ‘USB Debug’ connector on the board to the computer
  • Use a jumper wire to short pin 16 and 17 on J501

Setting up PIC32MK MCM Curiosity Pro Board

  • Connect micro USB cable to the ‘USB Debug’ connector on the board to the computer
  • Use a jumper wire to short pin MOSI and pin MISO of J300

Setting up PIC32MK MCA Curiosity Pro Board

  • Connect micro USB cable to the ‘USB Debug’ connector on the board to the computer
  • Use a jumper wire to short pin MOSI and pin MISO of mikroBUS connector

Running the Application

  • Build and program the application using its IDE
  • LED indicates the success or failure:
    • LED is turned ON when the when the value received matched with the transmitted value
    • LED is turned OFF when the when the value received did not match with the transmitted value

Following table provides LED names:
