That did the trick! Weeks of toil due to a missing word, “chipSelect”. What is weird is that it worked on other boards as I had previously mentioned. Dave, you have done a great service to me and my not-for-profit, Greenbelt Overhaul Alliance of Levittown (G.O.A.L.), located in Levittown, Bucks County, Pa. Trust me, I know how much work goes into troubleshooting.
I have always been reluctant to use forums where some of the participants get nasty with us newbies, thank you for being so courteous.
