Expand 14 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a multi-port I/O expander. This board features the CAT9555, a CMOS device that provides 16-bit parallel input/output port expansion from ON Semiconductor. The CAT9555 contains two 8-bit configuration ports (input or output), input, output, and polarity inversion registers, alongside an I2C-compatible serial interface. Any of the sixteen I/Os can be configured as an input or output by writing to the configuration register. It also features an active-low interrupt output, indicating to the host controller that an input state has been changed.

We provide a library for the Expand 14 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Expand 14 Click driver.
expand14_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void expand14_cfg_setup ( expand14_cfg_t *cfg );
expand14_init
Initialization function.
err_t expand14_init ( expand14_t *ctx, expand14_cfg_t *cfg );
expand14_default_cfg
Click Default Configuration function.
err_t expand14_default_cfg ( expand14_t *ctx );
expand14_set_pin_direction
This function sets the direction of the selected pins.
err_t expand14_set_pin_direction ( expand14_t *ctx, uint8_t direction, uint8_t port, uint8_t pin_mask );
expand14_set_all_pins_value
This function sets the value of all output pins.
err_t expand14_set_all_pins_value ( expand14_t *ctx, uint8_t set_mask );
expand14_read_port_value
This function reads the value of the selected port input pins.
err_t expand14_read_port_value ( expand14_t *ctx, uint8_t port, uint8_t *data_out );
This example demonstrates the use of Expand 14 Click board by setting and reading the ports state.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration which sets the port 0 as output and the port 1 as input.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
expand14_cfg_t expand14_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
expand14_cfg_setup( &expand14_cfg );
EXPAND14_MAP_MIKROBUS( expand14_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == expand14_init( &expand14, &expand14_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
if ( EXPAND14_ERROR == expand14_default_cfg ( &expand14 ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
for ( ; ; );
}
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Sets the pins of the port 0 and then reads the status of both ports and displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second.
void application_task ( void )
{
uint8_t port_value = 0;
for ( uint16_t pin_num = EXPAND14_PIN_0_MASK; pin_num <= EXPAND14_PIN_7_MASK; pin_num <<= 1 )
{
expand14_set_all_pins_value( &expand14, pin_num );
expand14_read_port_value( &expand14, EXPAND14_PORT_0, &port_value );
log_printf( &logger, " Status port 0 (output): 0x%.2X\r\n", ( uint16_t ) port_value );
expand14_read_port_value( &expand14, EXPAND14_PORT_1, &port_value );
log_printf( &logger, " Status port 1 (input) : 0x%.2X\r\n\n", ( uint16_t ) port_value );
Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
