32 I/O Port Expander Booster Pack ( MCP23S17 and MCP23S18 )

[RobG 1,892]

32 I/O Port Expander Booster Pack.

Two versions available, one for MCP23S17 and one for MCP23S18.

 

MCP23S17 version on Tindie

MCP23S18 version

Hello Rob,

 

Will this coexist with the iso-dmx booster? Any pin conflicts?

 

Thanks!

If you stack it as is, you will only be able to use one MCP23S1x chip (16 I/O.)

To use both, you would have to cut P1.0 on one of the boards and attach it to another pin.

Excellent!  I will just need to install long pinned sockets, possibly a right angle connector for the 36 pin,  and it should sandwich perfectly between the launchpad and the iso-dmx board.  Looking to do 12-16 inputs and 12-16 outputs, so this is perfect.

Looks like 23S17 board will have to be revised (didn't realize that address lines are also used in SPI mode.)
