SPI Debugger
Hi Friends, in this post, we will discuss how to use SPI Debugger available in proteus for serial peripheral interface (SPI) which is a built-in feature of PIC microcontroller to communicate and data exchange between PIC and other devices.

Introduction to SPI
Guys, SPI can be considered as a programmable shift register, The SPI module is a synchronous serial I/O port that shifts a serial bit stream of variable length and data rate between the PIC and other peripheral devices. Here “synchronous” means that the data transmission is synchronized to a clock signal.
To avoid further delay, let's see some important connections and different configurations to effectively use SPI Debugger.
How to use SPI Debugger in MASTER & SLAVE configuration
Select the virtual instrument and from the instrument, list selects "SPI Debugger".

Insert two SPI Debugger on the working area, select any one of them, and right-click on it, navigate to edit properties.
Connect both SPI debugger as shown below.(tip: right click on left-hand side SPI debugger and use "x-mirror" option )
Next, right-click on MASTER SPI Debugger and select "SPI Mode" to "MASTER".
tip: You can also open Terminal window from Debug

In the "part reference" entry box insert MASTER, do the same for the second SPI Debugger, and insert SLAVE.

Next, right-click on MASTER SPI Debugger and select "SPI Mode" to "MASTER".
Insert 1 in "Master clock frequency.
Type binary sequence in other properties entry box {SEQUENCE = 01010101B}equivalent to 55 in HEX.

Next, right-click on SLAVE SPI Debugger and select "SPI Mode" to "SLAVE".
Insert 1 in "Master clock frequency.
Type binary sequence in other properties entry box {SEQUENCE = 11111111B} equivalent to FF in decimal.

Now, run the simulation, if everything goes fine both debugger terminals windows will be displayed and 8 bit will exchange between both terminals

ReplyDeleteEmpty windows means user is not providing sequence in supported format.
Deleteto avoid this problem you can be used a prefix to denote binary values (e.g 1101b).
