Carrying the multi SPI conversation on here...
Do you think it is possible to incorporate Steffan's multi spi mgr in to your MCP23S17 driver?
Thus making it possible to share with MIP without modifying MIP?
On another topic...
I was considering the use of the bus.
If I wanted to dynamically group pins/ports and abstract this further to allow me to create groups or "buses" across chips do you think this is possible.
Let me elaborate...
Am I correct in saying the use of a bus is to allow for multiple port changes to be made in one write, thus increasing speed and efficiency?
If this is correct, then I also understand that I can't make a bus spanning multiple chips, however if for example I wanted to change the state of 10 pins 5 on each chip, then I could create a class that identifies which pins are on which bus and perform 2 writes one for each bus?
This is obviously going to be more efficient than 10 separate writes and gives me the ability, for example to "turn off all lights" or "turn off everything".
Many thanks,
Andy
