Electronic – What PIC microcontroller can interface with an ADXRS800 gyroscope with SPI output

gyromicrocontrollerpicspi

Straight to the point…

I planning to use an ADXRS800 gyroscope and its output is a 32bit SPI message, does this mean that it can only be interfaced with a 32bit PIC microcontroller, or could i use my 8 bit microcontroller.

Of course you can use any 8-bit µC.

Messages longer than a byte you can handle in multiple single byte pieces.

Take a look at some example code.
E.g. here you can find several examples for interfacing a PIC to various peripherals.
