How do you use SPI on an Arduino?
Introduction to SPI
The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) interface is used for communication between multiple devices over short distances, and at high speed.
Typically there is a single "...

How to increase SD card write speed in arduino
OK. So, I tried the SDFat lib. This library is definitely better than the default SD library that comes with adruino.
But that is not how I solved my problem of low data-rate.
I followed the ...

How do I transfer more than 1 byte at once via SPI bus?
Note that there is also a version of SPI.transfer for multi-byte (buffer) transfers:
SPI.transfer(buffer, size)
I used the buffer transfer in my library for the TLC59711 (see code) and found the ...

Confused between SPI and I2C for SSD1306 OLED
SCK and SCL are the same thing.

They seem to be interchangeable. The fact you have SDA (Serial DAta) as opposed to separate SDI / SDO or MOSI / MISO pins means it's I2C.

Is there any standard for colors of Serial Peripheral Interface wires?
No, there is no standard. However:
Red is often +5V
Black is often GND
I often assign colours numerically according to the resistor colour code:
0 - Black
1 - Brown
2 - Red
3 - Orange
4 - Yellow
5 - ...

Which library to use for 23LC1024 SRAM 1 Mbit
SPI RAM has two modes of operation: single byte and "page mode".
In single-byte mode you first send the read or write command followed by the (typically 3-byte) address and then read a byte. That's 5 ...
