Macro reference

ConfigureInversion

Fc9-comp-macro.png ConfigureInversion
Configures the pin inversion for the two ports. Disabled on all pins by default. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE PortA
Port A inversion sent as an 8-bit value, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE PortB
Port B inversion sent as an 8-bit value, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ConfigurePullups

Fc9-comp-macro.png ConfigurePullups
Configures the pullups for the two ports. Disabled on all pins by default. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE PortA
Port A pull ups sent as an 8-bit value, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE PortB
Port B pull ups sent as an 8-bit value, 0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ReadPort

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadPort
Reads a value to one of the ports with a mask. Configures the masked bits to be inputs before reading the input value. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Port
0=PortA, 1=PortB 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Mask
Allows port bits to be modified without effecting other bits, 255 = write full port. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


ReadPortPin

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadPortPin
Reads a single port pin from one of the ports. Configures the pins to be an input before reading the input value. Returns 0 or 1 corresponding to the value on the port pin. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Port
0=PortA, 1=PortB 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Pin
Port pin to read. Range: 0-7 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


ReadRegister

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadRegister
Reads an 8-bit value from a register on the I/O expander device. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Address
Register address to write to. Range: 0-15 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


SetAddress

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetAddress
Allows the slave address to be overridden to allow multiple modules to be controlled using a single component. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Address
Range: 0-7 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


WritePort

Fc9-comp-macro.png WritePort
Writes a value to one of the ports with a mask. Configures the masked bits to be outputs before writing the output value. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Port
0=PortA, 1=PortB 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Mask
Allows port bits to be modified without effecting other bits, 255 = write full port. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Value
Value to write. Range 0-255 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


WritePortPin

Fc9-comp-macro.png WritePortPin
Writes a single port pin on one of the ports. Configures the pins to be an output before writing the input value.  
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Port
0=PortA, 1=PortB 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Pin
Port pin to read. Range: 0-7 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Value
Value to output on the selected pin. Range: 0-1 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


WriteRegister

Fc9-comp-macro.png WriteRegister
Writes an 8-bit value to a register on the I/O expander device. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Address
Register address to write to. Range: 0-15 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Value
Value to write. Range: 0-255 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png I²C Communications
Fc9-type-16-icon.png External Address
Selects the value of the three address pins for the MCP23S17. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
Channel selection 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
