shiftout and shiftin

[Ron Marcus]

Morning,
I am playing with a transceiver chip from Chipcon. It uses SPI and shifts out status info when a command is shifted in. Is there any way to read this using shiftout? I'm thinking that perhaps there is a dummy variable that can be polled after a shiftout operation.
Yes, I know I can use hardware MSSP, or write my own routine, but I would like to be lazy and not have to use specific port pins. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ron

I think it's one of those to be test on a board. Can you give us exactly which Tranceiver you use?

Maybe Shiftin may work... but in some case, you have to build your own... ARRRGH! Bah once it's done... it's a lifetime routine on wich you can add some specific device. Using Macros it's just a real pleasure.

Well that's what i do now for my specific routine like LCD, GLCD and, and, and...
