So you would send 4 bit frame, toggle pin, send 12 bit frame.
Will look at data sheet a little later, just to make sure.

If it is fig. 7, then. This is 16 bit packets, Therefore, a pulse afterwards should be OK. Have a look for TLC9540, In the cool book ? It is amazingly similar.
Ceri
You mean the TLC5940? I did but its only 12 bit. I am using this to drive servos. Ok, so a 4 bit packet should work, how do I know that the SPI library sends the most significant bit first? Also which "mode" of SPI do I need to use with this? My guess is "mode 0"...
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

Ceri, What do you mean by bit bashing the SPI? Yes the configuration is a one off thing in the beginning of the program. Although in the data sheet fig. 6 shows that the LE needs to go high at the 6th or 7th bit all the way to the 16th bit then low.
CS = 0 Data = 1 Clock = 1 Clock = 0 .... .... ..... .... Le = 1 Data ... Clock... Clock ..... .... .... .... Le = 0 Ce = 1
You simply toggle the bits manual, You could put it in a loop, in a subroutine.
So this is what I did and still a no go.

Alright... everything is solved and working correctly. Thanks for your help!

Hi there,
I am trying to interface to this 16 bit LED driver from ST ( http://www.st.com/internet/analog/product/215262.jsp ). It interfaces via SPI but the problem is that to send configuration data to it I need to have one of its pins high for a certain number of bits (yes, bits...). I am not sure how to do that with the current SPI library and I can't seem to find another way. Please refer to page 14 of the data sheet ( http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/DATASHEET/CD00237442.pdf ) to gain further understanding of what I mean... Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
