 ## Usage
-Unlike most Arduino library, no default instance is created when the library is included. It's up to you to create one with the appropriate chip I2C address.
+Unlike most Arduino library, no default instance is created when the library is included. It's up to you to create one using the appropriate I2C address based on  MCP23017 `A0`, `A1` and `A2` pins wirings.
+Available addresses go from `0x20` to `0x27`, allowing up to 8 MCP23017 on the same I2C bus.

 Additionaly, you can specify the `Wire` instance to use as a second argument. For instance `MCP23017(0x24, Wire1)`.  
 See included examples for further usage.
 
-## Remarks
+## Warning about GPA7 & GPB7
+
+GPA7 or GPB7 should not be used as inputs despite what the configuration registers allow. As [stated by Microchip](https://microchip.my.site.com/s/article/GPA7---GPB7-Cannot-Be-Used-as-Inputs-In-MCP23017), it can lead to SDA signal corruption or even malfunction in the host bus under some conditions.

 Major renames have been performed in v2.0.0 to improve compatibility with a variety of platforms. Existing code *will* break when you update from version v1.x.
