    Sorry i forgot to say that pic877a and pic 876a communicate to each other with spi protocoll.

    #define SPI_MODE_0 (SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H)
    #define SPI_MODE_1 (SPI_L_TO_H)
    #define SPI_MODE_2 (SPI_H_TO_L)
    #define SPI_MODE_3 (SPI_H_TO_L | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H)

    setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_CLK_DIV_16);

    setup_spi(SPI_SLAVE | SPI_MODE_0);

    According to ST7735 color TFT driver do i have to change from SPI_CLK_DIV_16 to SPI_CLK_DIV_4
    and SPI_MODE from 0 to 3?

    1. Spiros Vardaramatos

      i mean in my system i use for mster’s program the following command
      setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_0 | SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
      and for the slave’s program i use this command
      setup_spi(SPI_SLAVE | SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H);

      If i want to add the ST7735 color TFT intomy system do i have to change these commnds?

    I have made an automation home system which a pic16f877a works as a master that collect data and send them to a pic16876a(works as a slave) that excecute commands. Now i want to put temperature sensors on each room, but i dont want to use 16×2/ 20×4 LCD screen (with HD44780 controller) because of too many cables. Is it possible to add a ST7735 TFT as a slave?

    1. Yes of course, instead of the 20×4 or 16×2 LCD you could use other ones such as the ST7735 color TFT or SSD1306 OLED monochrome display which uses I2C protocol (2 lines only + reset line between the MCU and the display).
