Recently I announced that National Instruments<\/a> has released a set of example labs<\/a> designed to show you how you can get the full use of your Analog Discovery 2<\/a>. If you have since forgotten and want to review the summaries and mission of the seven labs, you can check out the original post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks I’ll be covering each lab, the tools it uses, and concepts that can help you teach your students. In my previous post I went over Lab 6: UART Serial Communication. In this post I’ll be going over Lab 7: SPI\u00a0Communication.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Lab 7 is designed for a microcontroller or embedded systems course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lab 7: SPI\u00a0<\/strong>Communication\u00a0<\/strong>is design to teach students about SPI communication. They will learn about the functionality of the different SPI lines, how to transmit SPI from a master device, and validate the data sent from the master to check for data integrity. By the end of the lab students will be able to send, receive, and decode data from a SPI bus.<\/p>\n

This lab utilizes 1 set of software,\u00a0LabVIEW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LabVIEW<\/a> is a development environment design specifically to accelerate the productivity of engineers and scientists. It features a graphical programming syntax that makes it simple to visualize, create, and code engineering systems.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
Lab 7 uses the logic analyzing features of the Analog Discovery 2 to receive and decode SPI\u00a0signals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
