| - | The Expander Shield Kit allows you to build a Digispark shield which connects a PCF8574P Remote 8-bit I/O expander IC to the Digispark development board. It communicates with the Digispark over the I2C bus and provides 8 more digital i/o pins that can be controlled by the Digispark. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This is an unassembled kit and requires basic soldering. This is designed for use with the Digispark development board, which is not included. | ||

| - | **Resistor Values:** For more information on how to identify the value of the resistors we recommend these sites: | ||
| - | A nice simple resistor calculator: http://www.ealnet.com/m-eal/resistor/resistor.htm | ||
| - | A comprehensive article on identification: http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Electronics/Color/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Soldering:** If you are new to soldering we recommend the following tutorials: | ||
| - | Soldering Basics (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/106) and Soldering Crash Course from the folks at Sparkfun (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/354). | ||
| - | How to solder from the Curious Inventor: http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/How_to_Solder | ||
| - | |||
| - | **We assume for these assembly instructions that you know the basics of thru-hole soldering. If you don't check out the links above, these boards are very easy to solder - we promise!** | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =====Assembly:===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | **NOTE:** If you have a "Model B" board you may need to cut the trace to the onboard LED before using any I2C devices - Find out how to tell which board you have and what to do here: [[digispark:tutorials:modelbi2c]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Empty kit bag (or if using a raw PCB, aquire parts) and verify contents. | ||
| - | **Note for Kickstarter Backers and Pre-orders:** Headers are not included in each kit bag, but the entire order came with more than enough headers for all kits. | ||

| - | |||
| - | Solder resistors one at a time. Solder the leads and clip off the excess. Repeat for all resistors. | ||

| - | |||
| - | Insert the 16 pin DIP socket into the board matching the indention cut out on one end with the indention printed on the board. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | Insert the 8 pin female header (on the top of the board) and solder each pin. | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/m/expander4.jpg|{{https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/t/expander4.jpg}}]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | Cut a length of male headers 6 pins long and one 3 pins long. Insert into corresponding positions (on the bottom of the board) and solder each pin. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | **Tip:** Inseting the headers into a breadboard and then placing the board on top can make this process easier. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Note:** If you are using stackable headers, use them here instead of the standard male headers. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Insert the PCF8574P expander IC into the 16 pin DIP socket matching the indention cut out on one end with the indention on the socket. | ||

| - | |||
| - | Your expander shield is complete! | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =====Programming:===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The pin connections are as follows: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Digispark P0 -> SDA | ||
| - | Digispark P3 -> SCL | ||
| - | |||
| - | The I2C Address is 0x20 - this address can be changes with the on-board solder jumpers. Please refer to the schematic and datasheet for more info. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Please refer to the expander example included with the Digispark Arduino Addon. | ||
