SPI

## setClockDivider()

#### Description

This function should not be used in new projects. Use SPISettings with SPI.beginTransaction() to configure SPI parameters.

Sets the SPI clock divider relative to the system clock. On AVR based boards, the dividers available are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128. The default setting is SPI_CLOCK_DIV4, which sets the SPI clock to one-quarter the frequency of the system clock (4 Mhz for the boards at 16 MHz).

Arduino Due
On the Due, the system clock can be divided by values from 1 to 255. The default value is 21, which sets the clock to 4 MHz like other Arduino boards.

#### Syntax

SPI.setClockDivider(divider)

#### Parameters

divider: | SPI_CLOCK_DIV2 SPI_CLOCK_DIV4 SPI_CLOCK_DIV8 SPI_CLOCK_DIV16 SPI_CLOCK_DIV32 SPI_CLOCK_DIV64 SPI_CLOCK_DIV128 | (On AVR boards)
slaveSelectPin: | slave device SS pin | (Arduino Due only)
divider: | a number from 1 to 255 | (Arduino Due only)

#### Returns

None
