Description Configures the SPI interface

The default setting is: 500000, SPI.MSBFIRST, SPI.MODE0
Syntax
.settings(maxSpeed, dataOrder, mode)
Parameters
maxSpeed int: maximum transmission rate in Hz, 500000 (500 kHz) is a resonable default
dataOrder int: whether data is send with the first- or least-significant bit first (SPI.MSBFIRST or SPI.LSBFIRST, the former is more common)
mode int: SPI.MODE0 to SPI.MODE3
Returnsvoid
