    Kuroneko-

    That's the relevant bit I was missing! I'm not in a position to test this at the moment, but this makes sense. Although even if I trigger the data line I don't see anything. In what you describe I can see why I get no clock, but I would have expected data to be shifted out. Sounds like this might be the same problem. The phsX register can't manipulate the expected bin because it just so happened that I pick a test value that ended in bit[0]=1. I guess that's better than having chosen it to end in 0 in which case I'd have had a really hard time finding it.

    Again, thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Peter

    It just occurred to me that you could use the counter even for the slow code. neg phsb, #1 would raise the clock line and mov phsb, #0 lower it (NCO, pin := phsx[31]). This way outa wouldn't get in the way. The only thing to be aware of here is that the clock for fast mode is then delayed for one system clock (since phsb is left at -1). This may or may not be an issue. Just something to be aware off. HTH

    Confirmed. Again, you could use a similar approach as the one outlined above (instead of muxc use rcr phsa, #1).

    Just noticed that you preset phsb for the clock anyway so there would be no clock delay.

    With Kuroneko's help I was able to get this sorted. As he pointed out, the complete code I posted above left some pins high when I exited my slow routines which meant the fast routines (and the counter in particular) couldn't lower the clock or output pins because the output state is the logical OR of all the different factions that have control over the state of a pin. By making sure my slow routines left both clock and data low on exit, I was able to get lonesock's code working. Thanks to all for the help, especially kuroneko.

    Here are the working versions. A slow read/write, fast read, faster write:
    {******************************** RW_BYTE ******************************************************
    This command grabs reads the number of bytes to write from the HUB location byteCountPtr, then
    writes (byte wise) the bytes beginning at bufferVal.  Because it is SPI it also reads from the
    WIFI module at the same time.  The result is placed in the same slot of the buffer as the sent
    value.
    Z=1 when we enter.  Z=1 when finished.
