Thank you!

Just a tiny question: you code suggests that I should use the rising edge of SCK to shift out the bit. I'm using SPI in mode 0 which means I should be shifting out bits on the falling edge of SCK. So, shouldn't I be using the falling edge of SCK?

Secondly, I was using the shift register made by Altera's mega function utility: LPM_SHIFTREG. However, this shift register clocks out data at the rising edge again. Maybe I should invert SCK to make it do on the falling edge or perhaps make my own component? What would you suggest?
