// MCP4141. 2.7 to 5.5V 7-bit linear digital potentiometer with SPI interface.
// Wiper commands can be write or read. This program is to write commands only.
// MOSI/MISO are multiplexed in the MCP4141 side.

// Author: Lluis Nadal. August 2011.


DigitalOut leds[] = {(LED1), (LED2),(LED3),(LED4)};

//Define SPI mBed side:
SPI spi(p5, p6, p7); // mosi, miso, sclk. To write commands only, you do not need to connect p6(miso) to MCP4141.
DigitalOut cs(p8); // Chip select. Active low.

/*
MCP4141 side:
p8 = Vdd: +3.3V. p4 = Vss: GROUND. p1: cs (mBed's p8).
p2: sclk (mBed's p7). p3: SDI (mBed's p5). p5: potentiometer a. p7: potentiometer b.
Rab: 5k, 10k 50k or 100k options. p6: wiper (75 Ohm).
Attach ohmeter to pins p6 and p7.
