i2c interface with LED driver PCA9532

[koodiifin]

Two things I would try.
1. Set SDA and SCL high at start
2. The PCA9532 has a reset pin so after PAUSE 400 get the PIC to reset the PCA9532

Thanks for the reply! I added both of your ideas to my code, but I still cannot receive an acknowledge from the PCA9532. When I look at my scoped output and the datasheet, it looks like it should work with no problem... The address is correctly clocked out along with the R/W bit... there should be no problem. Anyways here's updated code: More advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I got it working! The chip is in a SO24 package so I had to use a SMD to breadboard adapter, which was apparently faulty... Anyways there was no problem with my code, so it all works now! Thanks.

Now that I have it working I will post a simple example of utilizing the PWM features on the PCA9532. Thanks. Also added an updated (and correct schematic) for anyone that wants to test out this 16 channel PWM LED driver.
