I just got a handyboard and have been playing with it.

I would like to maybe network a couple of miniboards to it for expansion using
the SPI. So:
1) how does one drive the SPI, software wise? (If this info
   is in the 6811 reference manual, just tell me as I am still waiting
   for mine).
2) Can I just connect the 4 SPI pins to each other (SS to SS, MISO to MISO,
   MOSI to MOSI, SCLK to SCLK), or do I need to cross connect MISO and MOSI?
   Are there any termination requirements, etc?
3) Can I power the miniboards from the handyboard via J13 (the power header)?

I was also thinking of of getting the Scott Edwards servo board to connect
to the Handyboard. Can anyone give me feedback on their experience doing
this?

Thanks.

(...) It's in the 68HC11 reference manual. Not hard, but I don't think any handyboard library routines have been written to queue up bytes to be streamed out. If you write any, you might share your stuff here, I have such a need as well. (...) MISO (...) (28 years ago, 20-Sep-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
