interfacing SPI with 2 pins?

modifyit,

If you have an LCD in the device, you can multiplex the CLK and data lines with the data lines going to the display.

Actually, if there are any devices in the circuit that are only active with an "Enable" input, then their data lines can be used as well.

The only thing that can't be multiplexed are the CS/Enable pins themselves.

I wish I had access to more pins, but all I readily have access to is GND,5V, and 2 GPIOs. I'm guessing it may just not be possible since I need to connect SI,SO,CS,and SCK to my SPI controller.

Then you're probably stuck with putting another PIC in there.

Use something like a PIC16F630, and communicate serialy (2-pins), between the PIC's. Then the '630 can talk to the SPI device, with pins left over for other things if you need them.

That's what I figured...thanks for the input
