Reading a SPI device on the Bela Mini

This sketch initialises the second SPI device (SPI1) on the Bela Mini, and reads data from it.

The SPI pins are: P2-25: MOSI P2-27: MISO P2-29: CLK P2-31: CS

To enable these pins for SPI you must first run the following commands (e.g.: in the console at the bottom of the Bela IDE, or via ssh)

config-pin P2.25 spi config-pin P2.27 spi config-pin P2.29 spi_sclk config-pin P2.31 spi_cs

The SPI readouts are then performed in an Auxiliary Task, seperate from the real-time audio thread.
