Hi,

Take a look at: http://www.espruino.com/ReferenceESPRUINOBOARD

And the Arduino example: http://arduino.cc/en/tutorial/ShiftOut

Looks like you need 3 wires - Data, Clock, and latch. Because Espruno does software SPI, you can actually use any 3 IO pins.

The code you might use is:

var spi = new SPI();
spi.setup({mosi: MY_DS_PIN, sck: MY_SH_CP_PIN });
spi.write(my_data, MY_ST_CP_PIN);

Thank you Gordon , I really have a first reference Arduino Sample, as you said, I set a MY_DS_PIN = B5, MY_SH_CP_PIN = B3, any 3 IO pins, can not take it?

Well, you have 2 options:

• Use hardware SPI (in which case you must use specific pins - like B3 and B5)
• Use software SPI (in which case you can use any pins you want to)

For software, the code looks like I pasted above. For hardware, it looks like this:

SPI3.setup({mosi: B5, sck: B3 });
SPI3.write(my_data, MY_ST_CP_PIN);
