What about the PCF8574? You can configure address on these and have up to 64 IO. |

The PCF8574 looks like a 8 port extender. The MCP23017 has 16 IO pins on it and the PCB has the I2C address lines in a place that you can change it if you need! The header on the PCB also allows you to connect other I2C bus devices too. So in theory you could use 8 MCP23017's giving 128 IO pins. I'm using this board for home automation, for controlling a boiler and a few electric valves and a hot water heater. I'm planning to connect some DS18B20's to the Carambola too, you can see more here: -Mark |
