# PCF8574
Arduino library for PCF8574 - I2C IO expander
# Description
This library gives easy control over the 8 pins of a PCF8574 and PCF8574A chip.
These chips are identical in behavior although there are two distinct address ranges.
| TYPE | ADDRESS-RANGE |
|:----|:----:|
|PCF8574 | 0x20 to 0x27 |
|PCF8574A | 0x38 to 0x3F |
THe library allows to read and write both single pins or 8 pins at once.
Furthermore some additional functions are implemented that are a little more
playfull but still are useful.
### Interface
**PCF8574(deviceAddress)** Constructor with device address as parameter.
**begin(val = 0xFF)** set the initial value for the pins and masks.
**begin(sda, scl, val = 0xFF)** idem, for the ESP32 where one can choose the I2C pins
What needs to be added in the future is a parameter to choose another Wire interface
as some processors have multiple hardware Wire interfaces.
----
**read8()** reads all 8 pins at once. This one does the actual reading.
**read(pin)** reads a single pin; pin = 0..7
**value()** returns the last read inputs again, as this information is buffered
in the class this is faster than reread the pins.
----
**write8(value)** writes all 8 pins at once. This one does the actual reading.
**write(pin, value)** writes a single pin; pin = 0..7; value is HIGH(1) or LOW (0)
**valueOut()** returns the last written data.
----
TODO
**setButtonMask(mask)**
**readButton8()**
**readButton8(mask = 0xFF)**
**readButton(pin)**
----
**toggle(pin)** toggles a single pin
**toggleMask(mask)** toggles a selection of pins, if you want to invert all pins use 0xFF.
**shiftRight(n = 1)** shifts output channels n pins (default 1) pins right (e.g. leds ).
Fills the higher lines with zero's.
**shiftLeft(n = 1)** shifts output channels n pins (default 1) pins left (e.g. leds ).
Fills the lower lines with zero's.
**rotateRight(n = 1)** rotates output channels to right, moving lowest line to highest line.
**rotateLeft(n = 1)** rotates output channels to left, moving highest line to lowest line.
**reverse()** revers the "bit pattern" of the lines, high to low and vice versa.
