Hi guys!
i have setup a circuit that involves two PICs. both are PIC18f452. One pic (SPI SLAVE) has a sensor on its analog input, it senses the value and sends it through SPI to SPI Master PIC. The SPI master pic then sends it to labview through serial port, now so far i was using this define statement in my program:
define adc_bits 8
but since i require more accuracy, so i made it
define adc_bits 10
and then i changed the associated variables type from byte to word to hold such a big amount of data. Now the prb is that SPI communication is not transferring the right value. this probably is due to the fact that the SSPBUF register is of 8-bits and im transferring a 16-bit value. So please look at my coding and suggest me a way how to make it possible to transfer a 16-bit data through spi. here is my coding for the SPI master
and then following is the program for SPI slaveCode:Include "Modedefs.Bas"

PLease remember that this configuration is working well as the PIC is configured as an 8-bit adc. when i make it 10-bit, the only thing that doesnt work is SPI communication. Please tell me how to make it possibleCode:Include "Modedefs.Bas"
