MCP2210 USB2SPI Module
MCP2210 USB2SPI Module
Description

If you need to communicate with external devices over SPI, then this module is for you.  It even has 9 GPIO pins that can be used for chip select lines, or other control lines.

Based on the MCP2210, which gives you driverless USB access to SPI, this module enables you to communicate with external electronics without having a worry about USB protocols, or even about SPI.

Simply connect the MOD-1013 to your USB port and then you can start writing PC applications that communicate directly with your electronic project.

A DLL is provided with instructions for use in C# or VB .Net applications - start communicating with your project today!  Using this DLL, we have created a simple app that allows you to send text to a DSP-0801 display - including the toggling of GPIO lines to send the "latch" signal.
