General

LPMS-ME1’s serial peripheral interface (SPI) protocol supports full-duplex synchronous serial communication with external devices. The SPI interface of LPMS-ME1 consists of four pins (CS, SDI, SDO and SPC) and acts as a slave device.

CS: Slave select pin, controlled by master device.

SDI: Master out / slave in data. This pin is used to receive data.

SDO: Master in / slave out data. This pin is used to transmit data.

SPC: Serial clock input pin.

LPMS-ME1 communicates with a host device via SPI using the LP-BUS protocol. It uses a register structure as displayed in summary below. For in detail information about the communication protocol and the register contents please check the LPMS-ME1 manual: https://www.lp-research.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/LpmsMe1Manual20171002.pdf
