Hello All, Does anyone have any experience with running an AVR (ATmega128) as an SPI slave? I am using the onchip SPI port and have set the \SS (PB0) pin an input expecting to get an interrupt (SPIF set) when the SS pin gets asserted. This did not work. Now I am polling the SS pi

You have several errors in your code. 1. Your "if" statement is bogus. Expand it out: if ((PINE, 0x01) == 0) Doesn't mean anything, although syntactically it is ok. 2. After reset all pins are INPUTS. You need to set the direction to OUTPUT to properly drive the LED. 3. Which com

The relay should have a reverse diode across the coil to clamp the back voltage generated when it is turned off. Some relays offer the diode built into the part. Also a capacitor should be next to the + supply to the relay coil. A .1 ufd and maybe a 1 UFD tantalum. Al Welch -----
