how to calculate SPIBUF value

[vinay shabad]

hii i saw aprogram in net where they wrote value of spibuf can any one explain me how to give value for this.



void readSPI()
{
unsigned int i;

_SPI_SS_PIN = 0; //Slave Select Enable bit (Master mode)
for (i=0; i<4; i++){};
SPI1STATbits.SPIROV=0; // resets TX buffer overflow
IFS0bits.SPI1IF = 0; // resets SPI Interrupt Flag
*********SPI1BUF = 0x5105;**************
}


can any one tell me how we get this value how to calculate this value

The data word written to SPIBUF is send to the SPI peripheral. To know it's meaning, you have to refer to the specfication of the slave device. The SPI interface (apparently of a 16-Bit PIC) is operated in unsual 16-Bit mode in this example.
