MCP23017 Output Test

Post by jimhook_uk1 »

Hi
I'm still very new to Flowcode and I am hoping to write a project that works on a custom design. I have a board that has many MOSFET switches driven by MCP23107 IO expanders. Is there an LED or other indicator I can use to test the outputs of the IO expanders?

Thanks

Hello,

Do you want to test it in simulation or on actual hardware?

You can't currently connect the sim expander pins to a LED though we have discussed making this a possibility but on actual hardware yes using a LED is a good idea to sanity check it's working ok.
