Arduino Uno 大概是用途最广泛的型号了,美中不足的是它的GPIO 有限,这里介绍一个GPIO的扩展模块。基于 PCA9555芯片的 GPIO模块。
简单的说,这个模块是将I2C转换为 GPIO,一共支持16个GPIO。板子上通过跳线的方式可以选择当前的地址0x20-0x27一共8个,理论上可以级联出来8(个模块)*16(个GPIO)=128个GPIO。
特地我去查了一下电气特性【参考1】:
电源支持2.3到5.5v(正常工作范围),IO 输入5V,支持每一个输出最大50mA,输入时每个最大20mA。电源供电最大输入 160mA(这意味着不能同时有3以上的 GPIO输出50mA,在使用的时候一定要特别注意,最好把它当作只能提供电平的控制模块)。
简单实验这个模块,用4个LED,负极通过一个1K电阻接地,虽然这样会让LED看起来很暗,但是我能够确定不会有过流的问题。然后用扩展版上的 P0.6,P0.7 ,P1.6和P1.7连接LED正极进行供电控制。
运行的代码来自 DFRobot【参考2】(看起来他们在很久之前做过一块类似的板子,但是目前已经停产了)。当I2C地址选择三个Pin都为0时,模块地址是0x20。另外,I2C访问部分,我修改为Wire.write 之前的Wire.send 函数已经取消了。

最后补充一些:
1. 这个模块在淘宝价格20左右,DFRobot新的替代品的价格在65左右;
2. 模块做工不错,看起来挺舒服,应该是机器焊接的(老婆偶然看到,竟然觉得挺精致)
3. Github 上有人提供了一个库,有兴趣的朋友可以试试。如果能够简化编程,都值得实验 https://github.com/nicoverduin/PCA9555
