In this chapter, we will look at the MSSP (master synchronous serial port) of the 18F4525 PIC. We will concentrate on the SPI (serial peripheral interface ). We will learn how it works and then use it to interface with the TC72 temperature sensor from microchip.

We will learn how the TC72 formats negative temperatures and how we can manipulate binary numbers using 2’s complement to read negative temperatures.

We will look at two methods for displaying binary values on the LCD, one of which will be using ...
