hwa/atmel/avr/examples/09-2-swuart-usi-spi-master-nrf24l01+/main.c

A simple interface between software UART and USI configured as SPI master.

This is a variant of the previous example, showing how using spimaster0_swclk instead of usi0 can simplify the application.

nRF24L01+ module wiring

              Gnd  [1](2)  Vcc
       Gnd <- CE   (3)(4)  CSN  -> 
       SCL <- SCK  (5)(6)  MOSI -> DO or MOSI
MISO or DI <- MISO (7)(8)  IRQ

Note For devices that use an USI to emulate an SPI interface, the MCU is considered a slave regarding the SPI pin names. Pin MISO, output of the nRF, has to be connected to pin MOSI/DI of the MCU, and pin MOSI, input of the nRF, has to be connected to pin MISO/DO of the MCU.

• BOARD_H is the name of the target board header file. It can be defined at compile time via the command line. For example, make BOARD=nanodccduino will define BOARD_H as <boards/nanodccduino.h>. See Development boards for the board definitions provided with HWA.
