You can check out the source code and schematics to my nixie driver board which utilizes the atmega 328 hardware spi - schematics here: http://cogwheelcircuitworks.com/downloads/ source code here: https://github.com/cogwheelcircuitworks/Cogwheel-Nixie-System ..c -- You received this message

I never used an Arduino before but this seems like all you need to know about the SPI: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SPI The bit-bang method is still interesting to try things out as you get to fully understand what will happen once you start using the SPI. Michel On Apr 1, 11:10 am, Dylan
