Hello
I am new in this forum and new in micropython. First, no code tags or BBCode is working in my post?

Or i am to stuppid
I want to send a byte over spi.write, stored in an bytearray. Here are my testcode:

from machine import Pin, SPI
import time

spi = SPI(-1, baudrate=100000, polarity=1, phase=0, sck=Pin(5), mosi=Pin(16), miso=Pin(4))

latch = Pin(12, Pin.OUT)
latch.on()

a = bytearray(2)
a[0] = 0b00000000
a[1] = 0b00001111

latch.off()
spi.write(a)    
latch.on()

spi.write(a) works. I think two bytes are send over spi. But i want something like this:
spi.write(a[0])
This doest work. This are the message from REPL: TypeError: object with buffer protocol required

Any idea?
Thanks

spi.write() expects a bytearray or bytes object as argument, a[0] is an integer.
a[:1] would again by a bytearray with a[0] as content. bytes([a[0]]) would do the same, .....
