Re: [avr-gcc-list] SPI troubles on atmega8

> Although your comment next to the SS_BIT pin states correctly that when in
master mode (which seems like what you are trying to do) it should be
configured as output, your DDRB assignment configures it as an input. It may
not be the root cause of your problem, but it certainly contributes to a
sickly behaving SPI interface.
>Looking at your code, it seems that you havn't set the SS_BIT as an output.
If it's left as an input and is driven low, the SPI system becomes a slave
and you are not going to be able to initiate data transfer.  Set that bit as
an output and see what happens.
I hope that fixes your problem.  I went through a bunch of "fun" on the
weekend playing with SPI and a CAN controller.

that fixed it
Thanks,
