ST micro LIS3LV02DL accelerometer interfacing

[devil6600]

hi,

i am trying to read data from an accelerometer (ST micro LIS3LV02DL) through SPI.
I used shiftin and shiftout command in picbasic pro but not able to read data. I have read the datasheet quite a few times but not able to get how to use SPI. I am basically confused in using SPI.

any help is solicited.

here's the data sheet: http://www.st.com/stonline/products/...e/ds/12094.pdf

here's my program:

INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
CS VAR PORTB.4
CLK VAR PORTB.3
DI VAR PORTB.2
DO VAR PORTB.2
BUFF VAR WORD
ATM CON $32
MSB CON $AC
LSB CON $F3

START
GOSUB GETDATA
GOTO START

GETDATA
Low CS
Shiftout DI,CLK,MSBFIRST,[ATM,MSB,LSB]
Shiftin DO,CLK,MSBPRE,[BUFF]
High CS
serout PORTA.2,N2400,[BUFF]
RETURN
END

-Thanks

No idea which PIC you're using...therefore no idea if the PIC you are using has any other functions on the PortB pins you are using...

No colons behind START and GETDATA

There's an SPI example on the meLabs web site.

I have already tried it, not able to complie it, lot's of error

And did you add the colons?
Or are you using Proton basic?

colons are not 100% mandatory, it may work without.

i would suggest to have a look a the following

If you receive few compilation error, it's probably because that code above is made for a 16F877x. Grandpa 16F84 have no PORTC, PORTD, PORTE & ADCON1 registers.

I am using 16f84.
