// Basic toggle test for i/o expansion. flips pin #0 of a MCP23008 i2c
// pin expander up and down. Public domain

// 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)

// Output #0 is on pin 10 so connect an LED or whatever from that to ground
