SPIDriver

  • BrandExcamera Labs

Description

SPIDriver shows you what’s happening on the SPI bus in real time, so no more guessing about the bus state. Its purpose is to make understanding the functioning of SPI hardware more intuitive. It's useful if you're into debugging hardware or simply introduce a class to SPI for the first time.

You can directly control LEDs and LCD displays just by having SPIDriver and you won't have to deal with microcontrollers. It's also a useful tool for examining, backing up and cloning an SPI flash as well as reading and writing SPI flash in circuit.

SPIDriver is also applicable if you want to drive, test and evaluate different displays.

With the help of current and voltage monitoring you'll be able to detect electrical problems at early stages. Thanks to the included color coded wires you can hook SPIDriver up without much effort; no pinout diagram required. It includes 3.3 V and 5 V supplies for your device, plus a high-side current meter.

SPIDriver comes with software to control it from:

  • a GUI
  • the command-line
  • C and C++ using a single source file
  • Python 2 and 3, using a module

Technical features

  • Live display shows you exactly what it’s doing all the time
  • Sustained SPI transfers at 500 Kbps
  • USB line voltage monitor to detect supply problems, to 0.01 V
  • Target device high-side current measurement, to 5 mA
  • Two auxiliary output signals, A and B
  • Two dedicated power outlines: of 3.3 V and 5 V
  • All signals color coded to match jumper colors
  • All signals are 3.3 V, and are 5 V tolerant
  • Uses an FTDI USB serial adapter, and Silicon Labs automotive-grade EFM8 controller
  • Also reports uptime, temperature, and running CRC of all traffic
  • All sensors and signals controlled using a simple serial protocol
  • GUI, command-line, C/C++, and Python 2/3 host software provided for Windows, Mac, and Linux

Details

  • Maximum power out current: up to 470 mA
  • Signal current: up to 10 mA
  • Device current: up to 25 mA
  • Dimensions: 61 mm x 49 mm x 6 mm
  • Interface: USB 2.0, micro USB connector

Contents (SPIDriver Core)

  • 1x SPIDriver
  • 1x Set of hookup jumpers

      I`ve bought the SPI driver a while ago, using it for fast parameterisation of stepper motor driver ICs. It`s tiny, handy, looks and works great! Much value for low price!

      I ordered this SPI driver a few days ago, to play around and to dump parameters via spi into a stepper motor driver. I installed the software, opened the GUI and after 1 problem with the USB setting it was up and running. What a nice and handy tool this is! Beautiful simplicity and elegance for bottom price!
