How Does SPI Determine the Starting Point of Data Transmission?
Click For Summary
SPI determines the starting point of data transmission through the synchronization of the clock signal with the MOSI and MISO lines, which have default states that can lead to misinterpretation if not managed correctly. The clock signal is only active when there is data to transmit, ensuring that the master and slave are aligned in their communication. While the SPI diagram does not explicitly show a common ground, it is implicitly understood to be present for proper operation. Understanding the role of the common ground is essential for effective communication between devices. Overall, the synchronization of signals and the implicit common ground are crucial for accurate data transmission in SPI.

The Clock signal runs only when there is a byte to transmit.

It is just implicit. They didn't bother to put it in the diagram, but it's there.
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord:
The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
