SPI Port
Posted in an earlier thread......

On the 2006 controller, the PIC micro had the SPI port #2 connected to the Relay outs 5, 6 and 7. With this upcoming season almost upon us, I have thinking about ways to use an SPI port to talk to custom electronics. Not being a programmer, I wonder if any one has written code for such a purpose, ie using the SPI port with the relay outputs of the RC.

Does anyone have a definitive answer about this? Do we have access to the SPI ports? Can we use them to communicate with external electronics?

Thanks for any help.
