To download, click "Download Source" in the top right corner. Then install as indicated in our tutorial:
 | 
						|
--> http://www.ladyada.net/library/arduino/libraries.html
 | 
						|
in a folder called Adafruit_MCP23008.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is very much beta, it seems to work fine but its not optimized and doesn't currently suport the interrupt capability of the chip
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently it can do: setting pin directions, inputs and outputs and turning on/off the pull-up resistors
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use:
 | 
						|
Connect pin #1 of the expander to Analog 5 (i2c clock)
 | 
						|
Connect pin #2 of the expander to Analog 4 (i2c data)
 | 
						|
Connect pins #3, 4 and 5 of the expander to ground (address selection)
 | 
						|
Connect pin #6 and 18 of the expander to 5V (power and reset disable)
 | 
						|
Connect pin #9 of the expander to ground (common ground)
 | 
						|
Pins 10 thru 17 are your input/output pins
 |
