Adding more SPI to MONOCHRON

Post by Squar0L »

The design guide says "LCD_CS1 is always the invertion of LCD_CS0". I'd like to pack one mode SPI device on that bus - can the Designer confirm a HCT139 or so is doable to better use that two pins?

OK, I was confused on the roles of KS0108 pins hooking up to SPI of the MCU. It's clear now the display has nothing to do with SPI. I think I can hook up a new SPI device to MISO/MOSI/SCK and drive the CS from the freed up chip select of KS0108. How do port C and D pins behave on the AVR when it's in ISP programming mode? Float?

when the chip is being programmed, the pins are being used. just make sure the CS line is pulled down by default (or whatever) so that the SPI device doesnt try to bash the programming pins.
