SX1278



  • HI
    I am using a PIC18F45K22 and am trying to control a sx1278 radio module through the SPI I have tried bit banging as per the code below but dont seam to be getting any output I can see the states by slowing the programdown and watchingthe different pins state and i believe they are looping through bytes correctly. can anyone have a look and see if they can see a mistake?

    Thanks paul

    program bitBangSPI

    ' Declarations section
    dim NCS as sbit at LATA.4 'set a4 as nss output
    dim MCK as sbit at LATC.3 'set c3 as clk outout
    dim MOSI as sbit at LATC.5 'set c5 as write outpur
    dim MISO as sbit at PORTC.4 'set c4 as read input

    dim bitcnt as byte ' used as count for sending a byte
    dim address as byte ' used to hold register address to write too
    dim payload as byte ' used to hold data to be sent

    Sub procedure sendByte()
    MOSI = 0 'set MOSI start at 0
    NCS = 0 'NCS low to select sx1278
    MCK =0
    'first write address byte
    for bitcnt = 0 to 7 'counts through all bits in byte
    MCK = 0 'clock low
    if address AND 0x80 then 'checks MSB against address for 1to decide what to write to mosi
    MOSI = 1
    else
    MOSI = 0
    end if
    delay_ms (200)
    MCK = 1 'clock high
    delay_ms (200)
    address = address <<1
    next bitcnt

    'now write data      byte
    for bitcnt = 0 to 7                     'counts through all bits in byte
        MCK = 0                          'clock low
        if payload AND 0x80 then            'checks MSB against payloadfor 1to decide what to write to mosi
            MOSI = 1
        else
            MOSI = 0
        end if
        delay_ms (200)                      'just used so I can watch the bits on dev board
        MCK = 1                             'clock high
        delay_ms (200)                      'just used so I can watch the bits on dev board
