(Forgot the PIC-tag when posting this yesterday...) Hi. Some time ago, there was some posts about extending the digital I/O of a PIC. 74-series shift regs was one solution. I'v seen that Microchip has someting called "16 bit I2C bus expander", part no MCP23016. http://www.microchip.com/1010/pline/analog/anicateg/interface/serialph/index.htm Looks nice... Has anyone tested this device ? Jan-Erik Svderholm S:t Anna Data -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
