SPIIn

SPIIn node is used for receiving data that was sent from a MCU (via SPI). You can find demos here.This allows you for example to control eg. ColorCamera or ImageManip from the MCU or send a Buffer of data from the MCU to a Script node.SPIOut is used for sending data from the VPU to a MCU (via SPI).

How to place it

Python
C++

Python

Python
1pipeline = dai.Pipeline()
2spi = pipeline.create(dai.node.SPIIn)

Inputs and Outputs

React Flow
