has anyone used the new mcp23008 port expander?
PostPosted: Fri Apr 22, 2005 5:56 pm     Reply with quote

I cannot get this chip to respond. I am using a pic18f2445 and the newest ccs. It never does anything, but if i put a similiar chip (pcf8547) on the i2c bus with a different address, the new chip works fine. Also if i read any port on the chip, i get back a value of 0xFF, which should not be the case.

So I think my problems are not i2c bus related, maybe bad software?
Here is the code I am using:

mcp23008.c:
Code:

#define MCP23008_I2C_WRITE 0x40
#define MCP23008_I2C_READ 0x41

// MCP008 REGISTERS
#define _IODIR       0x00
#define _IPOL        0x01
#define _GPINTEN    0x02
#define _DEFVAL    0x03
#define _INTCON    0x04
#define _IOCON       0x05
#define _GPPU      0x06
#define _INTF      0x07
#define _INTCAP      0x08
#define _GPIO      0x09
#define _OLAT      0x0A

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void write_MCP(unsigned char WriteAddress, unsigned char cmdByte, unsigned char data)
{

   i2c_start();                   // start condition
   delay_us(20);
   
   i2c_write(WriteAddress);    // Send slave address and clear (R/W_)
   delay_us(20);

   i2c_write(cmdByte);       // Command byte and register to be written.
   delay_us(20);

   i2c_write(data);          // First data byte pair as per command byte(cmd)
   delay_us(20);

   i2c_stop();             // stop condition   
   delay_us(50);
}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
long int read_MCP(unsigned int WriteAddress, unsigned int cmdByte, unsigned int ReadAddress)
{
   unsigned int data;

   i2c_start();             // start condition
   delay_us(20);
   
   i2c_write(WriteAddress);    // Send slave address and clear (R/W_)
   delay_us(20);
   
   i2c_write(cmdByte);       // Command byte and register to be written.
   delay_us(50);
   
   i2c_start();
   delay_us(20);             // restart condition
   
   i2c_write(ReadAddress);      // Send slave address and clear (R_/W)
   delay_us(20);
   
   ldata = i2c_read();       // Data from LSB or MSB of register
   delay_us(20);
   
   i2c_stop();             // stop condition

   return(data);
}

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void init_mcp()
{
   output_float(PIN_B0);
   output_float(PIN_B1);

   // Wait for MCP23016 Expander Device to power-up.
   delay_ms(250);

   // Set-up selected I/O expander unit
   write_MCP(MCP23008_I2C_WRITE, _IPOL, 0x00); // NonInvert all input polarities if active low
   write_MCP(MCP23008_I2C_WRITE, _IOCON, 0x00); // IARES(1) to max. activity detection time.
   write_MCP(MCP23008_I2C_WRITE, _IODIR, 0x00); // Direction of all data is output.
//   write_MCP(MCP23008_I2C_WRITE, _OLAT, 0xFF); // Update o/p latch that controls the output.
//   write_MCP(MCP23008_I2C_WRITE, _GPPU, 0xFF);  // Enable pullups
}


And here is my test code:
Code:

#include <18f2455.h>

#FUSES HS,MCLR,PUT,NOWDT,NOBROWNOUT,NODEBUG,NOIESO,NOLVP,NOWRT,NOWRTD,NOFCMEN
#use delay(clock=16000000)
#use i2c(MASTER, SDA=PIN_B0, SCL=PIN_B1, FAST, FORCE_HW)
// #use i2c(MASTER, SDA=PIN_B0, SCL=PIN_B1)

#include "mcp23008.c"

void main(){
   
   init_mcp();

   while(1){
      write_mcp(0x40, _OLAT, 0xF0);
   }
   
}


If anyone has any ideas, i would be greatful for some advice.

I didn't check your entire program, but I scanned it and spotted one
error. Remember that in i2c, you always have to do a "NAK" on the
last read. With CCS, you do this by giving a 0 parameter to the
i2c_read() function. You need to change your code, as shown in
bold below.

unsigned int ReadAddress)
{
unsigned int data;

i2c_start(); // start condition
delay_us(20);

i2c_write(WriteAddress); // Send slave address and clear (R/W_)
delay_us(20);

i2c_write(cmdByte); // Command byte and register to be written.
delay_us(50);

i2c_start();
delay_us(20); // restart condition

i2c_write(ReadAddress); // Send slave address and clear (R_/W)
delay_us(20);

ldata = i2c_read(0); // Do a NAK on the last i2c read

delay_us(20);

i2c_stop(); // stop condition

return(data);
}
