Product description: PCF8575 - GPIO pin expander - I2C - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 5611
Adafruit pin expander equipped with PCF8575 chip. It has as many as 16 pins of GPIO inputs / outputs , thanks to which it increases the design possibilities of the modules used. It communicates using the I2C bus, has 3 configurable interface addresses. On the board there are two STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors and soldering pads to which the goldpin strip included in the set should be soldered.
PCF8575 - GPIO pin expander - I2C - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - Adafruit 5611.
Product compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi!
The manufacturer has prepared a detailed user's guide , in which you will find instructions for connecting the module and sample program code.
Components included in the set.
Special features of the module
- Multiple I/O mode - thanks to 3 address pins, you can get up to 8 outputs on one bus, which gives a total of 8 x 16 = 128 GPIOs on one I2C bus
- The module can be programmed using Arduino and CircuitPython - the manufacturer provides libraries and sample program codes
- The board has STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors that allow for quick prototyping of systems without the need to solder the connector
Kit contents
- PCF8575 - GPIO pins expander - I2C - STEMMA QT / Qwiic - 1 piece
- Goldpin strip 1x16 pin - raster 2.54 mm - 2 pieces
STEMMA QT/Qwiic connector
The expander is equipped with two STEMMA QT connectors, located on the edges of the board. This standard increases prototyping capabilities, significantly speeds up the process of connecting with development boards and a wide range of other sensors. All this is done without the need for soldering and only with the use of a suitable cable.
