AVR128DB48 I2C_Host Example Component for CNano Explorer: I/O Expander 2 LEDs and BUTTONs (Polled, Printf)

The I²C Host IO Expander 2 - LEDs and Buttons Example, of the MCC Melody I²C Example Component (for the Curiosity Nano Explorer), is used here in the Polled implementation with the Printf visualization.

On the Curiosity Nano Explorer, the pins on the I²C I/O Expander 1 are connected to active-low LEDs, while the pins on the I²C I/O Expander 2 are connected to buttons (SW1, SW2 and SW3) as well as the joystick inputs (left, right, up, down, press).

This example configures the I/O Expander 1 pins as outputs set LOW, so the active-low LEDs are initially all turned on. The I/O Expander 2 pins are configured as digital inputs. As a button press or joystick input is detected, the associated LED is turned off. The Curiosity Nano's SW is configured as a reset, turning on all the LEDs again.

Operation

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

When running the application, using the MPLAB Data Visualizer, you should see something similar to the following: Note: Behaviour is not as reliable as in the Callbacks version.

Note: Debug I/O is not actively used. However, since the SW pin on the Curiosity Nano is a Debug I/O pin, so when pushing the IO_Reset, a toggle is picked up on the Debug I/O pin.

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.
