Hello, I am trying to communicate with an AD board via SPI but I am having a problem with the SPI Transfer vi.  I set the CS pin to 8 but pin 8 does not do anything when I call the vi.  I got around this by manually pulsing the CS pin before calling the SPI Transfer vi.  Has anyone else had this problem?

What type of board are you using?  If it is the Due, there are only certain allowable CS pins and 8 is not one of them.  The only pins allowed on the Due are 4, 10, 52, and 54.  Otherwise, for standard Arduino boards this API just configures it as a digital I/O as you are doing manually, so you should not have to do this and pin 8 should work.  Take a look at the included SPI example and the help for SPI Open Express.vi which explains how the CS works.

Yes, you are correct.  I am using the Due so I had to switch it to pin 10.  Thank you.
