PCF8574 PCF8574AP digital input and output expander with i2c bus.

Changelog

  • 18/04/2023: v0.0.2 Add static declaration for Px constants inside class.
  • 14/04/2023: v0.0.1 Initial commit of stable version.

I try to simplify the use of this IC, with a minimal set of operations.

Tested with esp8266, esp32, Arduino, Arduino SAMD (Nano 33 IoT, MKR etc.), STM32 and rp2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico and similar)

Installation

To install the library execute the following command:

pip install pcf8574-library

Constructor: Pass the address of I2C

    from PCF8574 import PCF8574
    
    pcf = PCF8574(0x38, sda=21, scl=22)

To use interrupt you must pass the interrupt pin and the function to call when interrupt raised from PCF8574

    from PCF8574 import PCF8574
    
    def keyPressedOnPCF8574(pin):
        # Interrupt called (No Serial no read no wire in this function, and DEBUG disabled on PCF library)
        keyPressed = True
    
    pcf = PCF8574(0x38, sda=21, scl=22, interrupt_callback=keyPressedOnPCF8574, interrupt_pin=18)

You must set input/output mode:

    from machine import Pin
    from PCF8574 import PCF8574

    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P0, Pin.IN)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P1, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_UP)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P2, Pin.IN)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P3, Pin.IN)
    
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P7, Pin.OUT)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P6, Pin.OUT, 1)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P5, Pin.OUT, 0)
    pcf.Pin(PCF8574.P4, Pin.OUT, 0)

then IC as you can see in the image has 8 digital input/output ports:

PCF8574 schema

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):

    digital_input = pcf.digital_read_all()
    
    print(digital_input.p0)
    print(digital_input.p1)
    print(digital_input.p2)
    print(digital_input.p3)
    print(digital_input.p4)
    print(digital_input.p5)
    print(digital_input.p6)
    print(digital_input.p7)
    
    array_input = pcf.digital_read_all_array()
    print(array_input)
    
    byte_input = pcf.digital_read_all_byte()
    print(bin(byte_input))

If you want to read a single input:

    digital_input = pcf.digital_read(PCF8574.P1)
    print(digital_input)

If you want to write a digital value:

    pcf.digital_write(PCF8574.P1, 1)

You can also use an interrupt pin: You must initialize the pin and the function to call when interrupt raised from PCF8574

    def callback(pin):
        now = utime.ticks_ms()
        global count
        count += 1
        print("Time: {} {}".format(now, count))
    
    
    pcf.attach_interrupt(18, callback)

For the examples I use this wire schema on breadboard: Breadboard Breadboard Breadboard
