Troubleshooting and mock objects for testing

By dave

Troubleshooting IO issues using LoggingIoAbstraction Within the MockIoAbstraction.h header there is an implementation of BasicIoAbstraction that delegates through a logging layer. If you are having difficulty determining what your code is sending and receiving, this could be useful. You simply introduce the logging abstraction between your regular abstraction and the device you're having trouble with. For example: Mock objects for use...

Timed blink - IO Abstraction library example

By dave

Timed blink is a version of well known Arduino blink example that is shipped with the standard IDE, but is redesigned to use the Abstraction and timer library. Example circuit for the code is exactly the same a blink, and if you use the inbuilt LED pin (which it does by default) then there's no need to build any circuit...

Rotary encoder with non-polling (interrupt based) switches from PCF8574

By dave

IoAbstraction has full support for interrupts on most devices, meaning we can connect a Rotary Encoder to an Arduino using a standard PCF8574 IO expander chip. In order to do this we need the PCF8574 /INT line to be connected to an Arduino pin that supports interrupts (such as pins 2 or 3). Further, you can also have handle push...

PCF8574 / PCF8575 I2C IoExpander for Arduino and mbed

By dave

IO Abstraction library fully supports the PCF8574 8-bit and PCF8575 16-bit IO expander chips on Arduino and mbed. It requires only two pins (three for interrupt mode) SDA, SCL, and optionally INT. Our driver integrates the interrupt support for you so you can attach interrupts very easily. The PCF8574 provides 8 additional input or output ports, but there are few limitations...

AW9523 I2C IoExpander with LED controller - Arduino and mbed

By dave

IO Abstraction library fully supports the AW9523 16-bit IO expander chips on Arduino and mbed. It requires only two pins (three for interrupt mode) SDA, SCL, and optionally INT. Our driver integrates the GPIO, LED controller, and interrupt support providing nearly all functions using familiar Arduino terminology. This device can even be used in conjunction with an AW9523 analog device ...

MCP23017 I2C IoExpander for Arduino and mbed

By dave

IO Abstraction library fully supports the MCP23017 16-bit IO expander chips on Arduino and mbed. It requires only two pins (three for interrupt mode) SDA, SCL, and optionally INT. Our driver provides nearly all functionality using similar terminology to Arduino itself. The MCP23017 provides 16 additional input or output ports, they have very similar capabilities to device pins and interrupt support...

MPR121 I2C Touch/IoExpander/LED controller - Arduino and mbed

By dave

IO Abstraction library fully supports the MPR121 12-bit Touch control and IO expander chips on Arduino and mbed. It requires only two pins (three for interrupt mode) SDA, SCL, and optionally INT. Our driver integrates the Touch, GPIO, LED controller, and interrupt support providing nearly all functions using familiar Arduino terminology. This device can even be used in conjunction with an...

IoAbstraction: Using a matrix keyboard / keypad

By dave

Matrix keyboards are arranged such that the keys are in a matrix of rows and columns. This means that instead of needing a spare input for each key, one INPUT for each column and one OUTPUT for each row is all that's needed. In order to use the keyboard, we create a class of type and configure it with an...

Liquid Crystal fork example using IO Abstraction library - examples

By dave

Recently, I have made a fork of Arduino LiquidCrystal (HD44780 display driver library) that allows the library to work with the IO abstraction library, meaning you can configure a display to use Arduino pins, an i2c 8574 IO expander or shift registers by simply changing one line of code in your sketch. There are two additional examples provided with this version...

Arduino digital input and output tutorial

By dave

In this tutorial and accompanying youtube video (left), I discuss how Arduino inputs and outputs work. Arduino 8 bit boards are mainly based on Atmel AVR chips, in fact the Mega is named after the chip number AVR-Mega-2560. Outputs on the AVR chips are much more versatile than they first look, and the video covers this in detail. If you are...
