| PIC18F8722 SPI Port using Timer2 |

I'm posting this little test program because I couldn't find anything that dealt with my situation specifically. I found a couple of erratas that concerned me about using Timer2 for a SPI port clock. I also found a couple of postings that indicated there were some problems using Timer2 for the a SPI port clock on certain PIC controllers. With a little research I determined that those postings didn't really apply to my specific application.
Anyway, while this demo is trivial, it does work. It shows that Timer2 can be used with PIC18F8722 SPI1 using the PICC compiler as documented.
This has a SPI clock rate of 1.6 msecs which is as slow as I could get using a 20 MHz processor clock.

setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_MODE_0 | SPI_CLK_T2);
output_LOW(PIN_A1); // my SPI_LOAD Pin
// run test
while(TRUE)
{
spi_write(0xA3); // something to write
//SPI_LOAD assert
output_high(PIN_A1);
delay_ms(1);
output_low(PIN_A1);
}
}
