Switching power with the Arduino over a I2C connected PCF8574: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

1 Goal

This little project wants do demonstrate how it is possible to switch a great number of lines with one single Arduino controller. It uses the PCF8574P chip. It is actually a reimplementation of this project:

3 The Scheme

4 The Code

#define CARD_ADR (0x4 << 3 | 0x0) // address 0100000

#include <Wire.h>

void setup()
{
  Wire.begin(); // join i2c bus (address optional for master)
}

void loop()
{
  /* switch on P0 */
  Wire.beginTransmission(CARD_ADR);
  Wire.send(B00000001);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(1000);
 
  /* switch off all pins */
  Wire.beginTransmission(CARD_ADR);
  Wire.send(B00000000);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(1000);   

  /* switch on P1 */
  Wire.beginTransmission(CARD_ADR);
  Wire.send(B00000010);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(1000);
 
  /* switch off all pins */
  Wire.beginTransmission(CARD_ADR);
  Wire.send(B00000000);
  Wire.endTransmission();
  delay(1000);   
 
}
