spi Pins

Set the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) signalling pins

pins.spiPins(DigitalPin.P0, DigitalPin.P1, DigitalPin.P2);

To configure the micro:bit to write to an external device using a SPI connection, each SPI signal line is assigned to unique a pin. A SPI connection uses 3 signalling lines called MOSI, MISO, and SCK.

If you don’t set the pins for the SPI connection, the default pin assignments are used:

• P15 = MOSI, micro:bit SPI data output pin
• P14 = MISO, micro:bit SPI data input pin
• P13 = SCK, micro:bit SPI serial clock output pin

Parameters

• mosi: the pin for SPI data output, the MOSI signal pin.
• miso: the pin for SPI data input, the MISO signal pin.
• sck: the pin for SPI serial clock output, the SCK signal pin.

Example

Set the pin assignments for a SPI connection to the default pins.

pins.spiPins(DigitalPin.P15, DigitalPin.P14, DigitalPin.P13);
