`port-expander` [](https://crates.io/crates/port-expander) [](https://docs.rs/port-expander)
===============
This is a crate providing a common abstraction for I²C port-expanders. This
abstraction is not necessarily the most performant, but it allows using the pins
just like direct GPIOs. Because the pin types also implement the `embedded-hal`
digital IO traits, they can also be passed to further drivers downstream (e.g.
as a reset or chip-select pin).
## Example
```rust
// Initialize I2C peripheral from HAL
let i2c = todo!();
// A0: HIGH, A1: LOW, A2: LOW
let mut pca9555 = port_expander::Pca9555::new(i2c, true, false, false);
let pca_pins = pca9555.split();
let io0_0 = pca_pins.io0_0.into_output().unwrap();
let io1_5 = pca_pins.io0_1; // default is input
io0_0.set_high().unwrap();
assert!(io1_5.is_high().unwrap());
```
## Accessing multiple pins at the same time
Sometimes timing constraints mandate that multiple pin accesses (reading or
writing) happen at the same time. The [`write_multiple()`][write-multiple] and
[`read_multiple()`][read-multiple] methods are designed for doing this.

## Supported Devices
The following list is what `port-expander` currently supports. If you needs
support for an additional device, it should be easy to add. It's best to take
a similar existing implementation as inspiration. Contributions welcome!

## Non-local sharing
`port-expander` uses a custom trait for abstracting different kinds of mutexes:
[`PortMutex`](https://docs.rs/port-expander/latest/port_expander/trait.PortMutex.html).
This means you can also make the pins shareable across task/thread boundaries,
given that you provide an appropriate mutex type:
```rust
// Initialize I2C peripheral from HAL
let i2c = todo!();
// A0: HIGH, A1: LOW, A2: LOW
let mut pca9555: port_expander::Pca9555<std::sync::Mutex<_>> =
port_expander::Pca9555::with_mutex(i2c, true, false, false);
let pca_pins = pca9555.split();
```
