    This is what I get on SDA and SCL with that short program.

    I put a label at the end of my i2C write statement to flash an LED if there is no acknowledge from the chip.

    there is NO acknowledge...the LED is flashing. So that's a result I will work with. I have extra port expanders (all pretested) and 16F887s.

    Update:
    Changed out port expanders: no change
    Changed out 16F887: no change
    Changed SDA and SCL port from PortC.4 and PortC.3 to PortA.5 and PortA.4: works. Acknowledge led is OFF>

    Any insight into why PortC didn't work but PortA does? ON the LabX1, C.4 and C.3 are designated for I2C.

    for what its worth

    this works for me
    Code:
    sda VAR PORTA.1
    scl VAR PORTA.2
    trisa.5=0
    '  pause 2000
    '    Debug "Start",13 ,10
    addr var byte ;mcp control address
    reg var byte  ;mcp register
    da var byte   ;gpioa data
    da=$f8
    addr = $40
    reg=0
    I2CWRITE SDA,SCL,addr,reg,[$00] 'set gpioa all output
    reg=9
    LOOOP:
    I2CWRITE SDA,SCL,addr,reg,[da]
    pause 500
    da=da+1
    GOTO LOOOP

    Despite the superiority of PBP and Mecanique IDE, working with the i2c commands is a bear! Struggled for a week on it, still no go. Went back to Arduino, and still cursing at all the syntax. However, a quick hookup and I have 80 LEDS spread across 5 boards (PCB above), running all kinds of patterns in COLOR without issue. It's basically the code I submitted (for Arduino) except the CS.digitalWrite is repeated 5 times, once for each board. I've got 20 pages of code done in Arduino, couldn't get one light to light up consistently with PBP.

    Thanks anyway. Going to the Arduino forum now to find out how to create functions (subroutines) to make my code trim and proper.

    working with the i2c commands is a bear!
    would you care to provide some code to demonstrate a i2cread/write command that exhibits some problem

    I find it always works as documented .


    I suspect that you have no idea of what the centipede library actually does behind the scenes and that
    you are attempting pbp code based on that total lack of understanding. maybe if you posted some code
    help would be offered all we have seen so far is just totally wrong.

    good luck with your endeavours on the Arduino forum , they just love posts with no code

    I also found that they get arsy if you give them too much. I didn't get much joy from the three arduino forums I posted on when porting my thermostat code to the platform. They also don't provide code for you if you're stuck, they expect you to work that part out when they've told you what to do, and if you are new to the platform and still find the syntax strange.

    I found the guys on this forum a lot more friendlier and supportive. It's just a shame that PBP lacks the native support for most modern things - but I2C is one of the basics and I've never had issues when using it to talk to LED driver chips etc.

    I cleaned my code up, so it's really apparent what I'm trying to do.

    I still won't blink the 16 LEDs.

    The HPWM is for a IRFZ44N that i use to pulse the LED grounds. I have a simple LED on it to confirm that it's operating.

    It won't let me add info to my previous post above:

    16F18877
    MCP23017


    Using 1K/130pF on SCL/SDA as mentioned on p.5 of datasheet (they use 135pF).
