Introduction

Arduino I2C to GPIO Module (SKU:DFR0013) when arduino is used for robots or interactive media, digital io port is always found not enough? iic now turn i / o modules to help you solve the problem, arduino only two data lines (scl-analog pin5, sda-analog pin4) and iic can transfer i / o module communication, to convert the 16 digital io ports, read-write. 8 simultaneous parallel modules, each module can be set to address.

Specification

  • Module power supply: +5 V
  • 16 Digital IO port comes with internal pull-up
  • Can be set to eight addresses (address range of 0x20 ~ 0x27)
  • 8 modules simultaneously in parallel (IIC bus need to pull together)
  • Module Size: 42x40mm

Sample Code

/******************************************************************************
Test Program for the 12C PCA9555 Board part number DFR0013 IIC TO GPIO module from dfrobot.com
16 outputs that I used to drive this relay board made in Bulgaria
http://www.denkovi.com/product/21/16-relay-board-for-your-pic-avr-project-12v.html
it's a great little expansion board that can be used to drive LEDs or anything you want.

My biggest problem was figuring out the I2C address of the PCA9555.
If there are no jumpers the address is 1 0 0 '1 1 1'
Jumpers make the address 1 0 0 '0 0 0'. This is opposite of what I expected.

Advanced application

Let's see a practical example: Driving a 4*4 button pad with GPIO.

Sample code

/*
Hardware preparation: a 4*4 button pad, a GPIO, 4 1k Ohm resistors.
sample code for Sealed membrane 4*4 button pad with sticker, it outputs the ASCII code for keys on the pad.
In this sample, to save the I/O port on Arduino board, we use a IIC-GPIO modulo (SKU:DFR0013). It transform the
IIC port on the Arduino board into GPIO I/O port.For more details, please turn to this page:

http://www.dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php?title=Arduino_I2C_to_GPIO_Module_(SKU:DFR0013)#Discussion


The general working principle of this key pad is a 4*4 matrix. The sample code scans the 4*4 matrix in a short time
and determines whether there is a signal input( pression on the keypad).
Before reading this sample code, you'd better have a look at the sample connection pic. You may wonder why there are
four resistors. This is because that if there are no such resistors, the data analogRead() gets will be a stochastic value
between 0-1023. It will be impossible to determine whether the connection is made by pressing the button on the key pad.
