AVR128DB48 I2C_Host Example Component for CNano Explorer: I/O Expander 1 LEDs (Polled, Printf)

The I²C Host IO Expander 1 - LEDs Example, of the MCC Melody I²C Example Component (for the Curiosity Nano Explorer), is used here in the Polled implementation, with the Printf visualization.

The example implements an LED chaser, incrementing the binary number on the lower six LEDs every 100 ms. Once the six active-low LEDs are all on, the pattern changes to toggle all eight LEDs every second.

The polled implementation simply uses a delay, first of 100 ms then the delay period is changed to 1s once the LED chaser is finished. The hex and binary values of the I/O expander pins are displayed as a printf message over the Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART).

Operation

When running the application using the MPLAB® Data Visualizer, something similar to the following should display:

Note: the delta 103 ms in the B and the 1.21 s in the C columns, respectively of the time plot. The difference from 100 ms, is simply due to the positioning of the cursor.

Setup

The image below outlines the complete MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC) Melody configuration, including all the selected tasks implemented in this example, as seen in the MCC Melody Builder.

MCC Melody Example Components

Example Components are a tight integration of learning material directly into MCC. This allows users to conveniently place the configuration instructions side-by-side to the components they are configuring. For more information, refer to the MCC Melody Example Components introduction.
