iC-Haus MCW via ESP32 SPI

[watersnick@gmail.com]

I am trying to collect the status information from an embedded chip: iC-Haus MCW via SPI. The SPI Host is via the ESP32 Thing.

The SPI transaction should send 1 byte as an op code and receive one byte containing the status.

The first byte of MOSI is the command’s opcode
0x9C and the second byte of MISO shows the latched
status information.

iC-MCW Specs:
CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0
CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1
SPI Min Clock 10Mhz

status.png (17.99 KiB) Viewed 89 times

This seems straight forward enough but I am not getting a response. The output repeats in a loop and is always 0. Am I missing something? I suspect the CS line may be the culprit, its held high by the MCW dev board when unplugged at 5V. It high 3.6 when connected to pin 5.

Code: Select all

Tx Byte 0: 0x9C
Tx Byte 1: 0x0
Rx Byte 0: 0x0
Rx Byte 1: 0x0
