SX1509

The SX1509 class interfaces with the SX1509 IO expander. It sits on the I2C bus and data can be directed to the connected devices via its I2C address. Interrupts from the devices can be fed back to the imp via the configured imp hardware pin.

Class Usage

Constructor: SX1509(i2cBus, i2cAddress, interruptPin)

The constructor requires the i2c bus, the address on that bus and the hardware pin to use for interrupts. These should all be configured before calling the constructor.

Class Methods

reset()

Write registers to default values

bank(gpio)

Returns the register numbers for the bank that the given gpio is on

setIrqEdges(gpio, rising, falling)

Configure whether edges trigger an interrupt for specified GPIO

clearAllIrqs()

Resets all the IRQs

getIrq()

Read all the IRQs as a single 16-bit bitmap

setClock(gpio, enable)

Sets the clock

setLEDDriver(gpio, enable)

Enable or disable the LED drivers

setTimeOn(gpio, value)

Sets the Time On value for the LED register

setIntensityOn(gpio, value)

Sets the On Intensity level LED register

setOff(gpio, value)

Sets the Time Off value for the LED register

setRiseTime(gpio, value)

Sets the Rise Time value for the LED register

setFallTime(gpio, value)

Sets the Fall Time value for the LED register

setPin(gpio, level)

Set or clear a selected GPIO pin, 0-16

setDir(gpio, output)

Configure specified GPIO pin as input(0) or output(1)

setInputBuffer(gpio, enable)

Enable or disable input buffers

setOpenDrain(gpio, enable)

Enable or disable open drain

setPullUp(gpio, enable)

Enable or disable internal pull up resistor for specified GPIO

setPullDn(gpio, enable)

Enable or disable internal pull down resistor for specified GPIO

setIrqMask(gpio, enable)

Configure whether specified GPIO will trigger an interrupt

clearIrq(gpio)

Clear interrupt on specified GPIO

getPin(gpio)

Get state of specified GPIO

reboot()

Resets the device with a software reset

setCallback(gpio, callback)

Configure which callback should be called for each pin transition

ExpGPIO

The ExpGPIO class is a convenience class that simplifies the configuration of a IO Expander GPIO port. You can use it in a similar manner to hardware.pin with two main differences:

1. There is a new pin type: LED_OUT, for controlling LED brightness (basically PWM_OUT with "breathing")
2. The pin events will include the pin state as the one parameter to the callback

Class Usage

Constructor: SX1509(expander, gpio)

Constructor requires the IO Expander class and the pin number to aquire

Class Methods

configure(mode[, param])

Configure pin by passing in a mode constant. Supported modes are: DIGITAL_OUT, ExpGPIO.LED_OUT, DIGITAL_IN, or DIGITAL_IN_PULLUP. Optional param is either the initial state of the pin (defaults to 0 just like the imp) if configured as an output, or a callback function if mode is configured as an input.

read()

Reads the status of the configured pin

write(state)

Sets the state of the configured pin

setIntensity(intensity)

Set the intensity of an LED OUT pin. Don't use for other pin types

blink(rampup, rampdown, intensityon[, intensityoff][, fade])

Set the blink rate of an LED OUT pin. Don't use for other pin types

fade(on[, risetime][, falltime])

Enable or disable fading (breathing)
