• Pixl.js & MCP23017 connected using I2C

  Hi Gordon,

  http://microcosm.app/out/zEd6h is full working but it was not simple for me to understand how it manages I2C bus.

  I printed data sent from Espruino to MCP23017 thru function ' p._w = function(r,dArr) { this.i2c.writeTo(0x20,r,dArr); print (r,dArr); return this; }; '

  Comparing it with MCP23017 it was easy to write minimun code to use bank A & B as output.

  Other experiences:

  • I'm using a power Bank using 'alway-on mode' instead of a button battery, so power wasn't the problem as 'allObjects' sujected too.
    
  • My previous design was running on Arduino, my mistake was transtlate that Arduino code to Espruino. Espruino needs other detailed commands to manage I2C (attached Arduino example)
    
    

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  Your post is at http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/312487/

  Attachment that helped me to clarify how MCP2307 is working is: https://espruino.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/e9474e4809d42cf2aa0a28c9377a4c4987ee1b72.js
  and MCP2307 datasheet.

  Thanks

  Hi,
  Thanks for your answer, your port expader is a really excellent job for reading a keypad.
  I tested your software and it changes signal output of GPA0, GPA1, GPA2, GPA3 to '1'. !!

  Reading your code, I solved my problem. Attached is a simple example of a '0' & '1' signal serie.

  Thanks a lot!!!!!!!,

  Paco.

  Hi,
  I have connected a port expander MCP23017 to pixl.js using I2c (using D5 for scl : D5 and D4 for sda)
  My target is to use MCP 23017 for reading or writing some signal.

  There are instructions in https://www.espruino.com/MCP23xxx but it doesn't work for reading or writing:
  It doesn't reports error messages, here is the code:

     var i2c = new I2C();
     i2c.setup({ scl : D5, sda: D4 });
     var address = 0x20; //this is the address, set by the address pins.
     // for MCP23017
     var port=require("MCP23017").connect(i2c,null,address);
     port.B0.mode('output');
     port.B0.write(1);      //<--IT MUST CHANGE TO '1' BUT B0 CONTINUE AT '0' LEVEL 
    port.A0.mode('input_pullup');
   console.log(port.A0.read());    //<--ALWAYS READ '1'
  

  I wrote a new code and now is working just for reading signals:

     var i2c = new I2C();
     i2c.setup({ scl : D5, sda: D4 });     
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0X12); 
     var x = i2c.readFrom(0x20, 1);  
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0X13); 
     var y = i2c.readFrom(0x20, 1);
  

  But for writing , it doesn't work:

     var i2c = new I2C();
     i2c.setup({ scl : D5, sda: D4});
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x00);
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x12);      // program all Bank A to output
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x00);
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x00);
     i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x12);      // Change all pins of Bank A to '1'
    i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0xFF);
  
  i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x13);      // program all Bank B to output     
  i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x00);
  i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x00);
  i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0x13);      // Change all pins of Bank B to '1'
  i2c.writeTo(0x20, 0xFF); 
  

  Some help, please?
  Thans in advance.

  Paco
