Sometimes I got it to work but most of the time is just doesn't
work.

Some ADC's with SPI interfaces (atleast the ones i've worked with)
can get locked up if bad data is sent so to reset them you have to
send
a string of one bits(the ADS7870 needed 32<48?> to reset). I don't
know if the AD7730 is the same though.
