SPI Interface

Hello ST expert,

I'd like to establish spi communication between my NucleoF401RE and an ADAFruit BLE module.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/2633 

While waiting for the BLE module, I found a USB SPI converter (like a FTDI for SPI) to create the following connection

MCU<->SPI<->USB<->Computer

The problem is that I've already used this type of converter for UART communication with Putty and it works perfectly but for SPI communication I don't know what Putty-like I should use to send data from my computer to the MCU

Does anyone know how to do this?

Best regard.

These USB-to-SPI things are usually just SPI Master - so won't be any use here

You'd need to ask the manufacturer of the USB-to-SPI converter - that has nothing to do with ST or STM32.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
