Hello,

Thanks for letting us know. I have edited the component and removed the additional parameter, this should have been a local variable instead.

The fixed SPI Master component should now be available via the Flowcode 8 update system.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi Ben

If I use a byte array instead of a string it gives me an error

PIC32BIT_CAL_String.c:910:13: note: expected 'MX_STRING' but argument is of type 'volatile MX_CHAR *'
static void FCI_SCOPY(MX_STRING sSrc, MX_UINT16 iSrc_len, MX_STRING sDst, MX_UINT16 iDst_len)

If I choose a string then my data from reading spi are corrupted, maybe there are some 0 (0x00).

Hello,

I have added some more macros to the SPI Master component to allow byte arrays to be sent and received. The byte arrays should correctly allow for any NULL values.

The new component should be available now via the update system.
