-======Expander Shield Kit Tutorial====== 
  
-=====Product Description:​===== 
-[[https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​m/​expander7.jpg|{{https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​t/​expander7.jpg}}]][[https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​m/​expander2.jpg|{{https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​t/​expander2.jpg}}]][[https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​m/​expander1.jpg|{{https://​s3.amazonaws.com/​digispark/​images/​t/​expander1.jpg}}]] 
- 
-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 
- 
-Adafruit has this excellent guide that starts with the tools needed and then shows detailed pictures, including some of the common problems that beginners experience (http://​learn.adafruit.com/​adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering) 
- 
-**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. 
-

- 
-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 P2 -> 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.
