We have to implement 6 serial connections to 6 modules from each module. we are going to use the atmega128 on each module. The atmega128 has 2 uarts so i can implement 2 simultaneous uarts. It is preferable not to have any external components (we have to keep footprint small) , s

After hooking up a scope and taking some measurements, I think the problem might be that the hardware SPI on the ATmega128 is too fast for the device I'm hooking up. At the largest prescale for the hardware SPI, I measure the SPI clock at around 116 KHz. This is close to what the

Broken-ness to report. The sim dosen't work right. The SPI, with double speed enabled, seems to take regular time, or maybe run at 1.5X depending on the weather. If you time out a routine to shove data in SPDR at 2.5uS intervals, with SPI set at max speed (4Mhz) you'll get WCOL i
