# spi Frequency
|
|
|
|
Set the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) clock frequency.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
pins.spiFrequency(1000000);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The @boardname@ sets the rate of data transfer and control timing for a SPI connection. This data rate and timing signal is controlled by the **SCK** pin. The signal on this pin is _clocked_ using the frequency set for it.
|
|
|
|
### ~ hint
|
|
|
|
**Simulator**: This function needs real hardware to work with. It's not supported in the simulator.
|
|
|
|
### ~
|
|
|
|
The default clock frequency is 1 Mhz (10000000 Hz). You can set the frequency for the SPI connection to some other value if you need a different data rate.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
* **frequency**: a [number](/types/number) to set as the frequency for SPI bus clock. This value is the number of clock changes per second (Hz).
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Read the value of the _WHOAMI_ register from the device connected to the SPI bus. The chip select line is connected to pin **0** and the SPI signals use pins **P13**, **P14**, and **P15**.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 1);
|
|
pins.spiPins(DigitalPin.P15, DigitalPin.P14, DigitalPin.P13);
|
|
pins.spiFormat(8, 3);
|
|
pins.spiFrequency(1000000);
|
|
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 0);
|
|
let command = pins.spiWrite(143);
|
|
let whoami = pins.spiWrite(0);
|
|
pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 1);
|
|
basic.showNumber(whoami);
|
|
serial.writeLine("WHOAMI register value: " + whoami)
|
|
```
