[SOLVED] interfacing 18F46k22 with i/o expander mcp23s17

[deeplearns]

Hi Guys
I am trying to interface 18F46k22 with 2 MCP23S17 .I am using MIKROC compiler .
I was able to cummunicate with one of them using the in built io-expander and spi library .But the problem arises when i use two i/o expander only one of them works.
Thus i tried to write a function on my own for the same .as i assumed they may require two different CS line .I was again able to do well with one expander at a time but not both .
I gave VCC to Reset pin when using my code .

My qestion is can a single CS line be used with multiple I/O expanders ?

Can i use MIKROC inbuilt library for two I/O expander ?

unused Address lines must be connected to 10K pullup resistor
