Library to use i2c analog IC with arduino and esp8266. Can read and write digital value with only 2 wire (perfect for ESP-01).
Tutorial:
To download. click the DOWNLOADS button in the top right corner, rename the uncompressed folder PCF8574. Check that the PCF8574 folder contains `PCF8574\\.cpp` and `PCF8574.h`. Place the DHT library folder your `<arduinosketchfolder>/libraries/` folder. You may need to create the libraries subfolder if its your first library. Restart the IDE.
# Reef complete PCF8574 digital input and output expander with i2c bus.
I try to simplify the use of this IC, with a minimal set of operation.
Constructor:
you must pas the address of i2c (to check the adress use this guide [I2cScanner](https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/I2cScanner))
```cpp
PCF8574(uint8_t address);
```
for esp8266 if you want specify SDA e SCL pin use this:
```cpp
PCF8574(uint8_t address, uint8_t sda, uint8_t scl);
```
You must set input/output mode:
```cpp
pcf8574.pinMode(P0, OUTPUT);
pcf8574.pinMode(P1, INPUT);
pcf8574.pinMode(P2, INPUT);
```
then IC as you can see in the image have 8 digital input/output:

So to read all analog input in one trasmission you can do (even if I use a 10millis debounce time to prevent too much read from i2c):
```cpp
PCF8574::DigitalInput di = PCF8574.digitalReadAll();
Serial.print(di.p0);
Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.print(di.p1);
Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.print(di.p2);
Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.println(pi.p3);
```
if you want read a single input:
```cpp
int p1Digital = PCF8574.digitalRead(P1); // read P1
```
If you want write a digital value you must do:
```cpp
PCF8574.digitalWrite(P1, HIGH);
```
or:
```cpp
PCF8574.digitalWrite(P1, LOW);
```
You can also use interrupt pin:
You must initialize the pin and the function to call when interrupt raised from PCF8574
```cpp
// Function interrupt
void keyPressedOnPCF8574();
// Set i2c address
PCF8574 pcf8574(0x39, ARDUINO_UNO_INTERRUPT_PIN, keyPressedOnPCF8574);
```
Remember you can't use Serial or Wire on interrupt function.
The better way is to set only a variable to read on loop:
```cpp
void keyPressedOnPCF8574(){
// Interrupt called (No Serial no read no wire in this function, and DEBUG disabled on PCF library)
keyPressed = true;
}
```
For the examples I use this wire schema on breadboard:
