+# Lua MCP23017 Module for NodeMCU / ESP8266

+
+
+This Lua module provides access to the MCP23017 module.
+
+The [MCP23017](http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/20001952c.pdf) is a port expander and provides 16 channels for inputs and outputs. 
+Up to 8 devices (128 channels) are possible by the configurable address (A0 - A2).
+
+Due to the 16 channels, 2 bytes are required for switching outputs or reading input signals. These are A and B. 
+A single pin can be set or a whole byte. 
+
+The numbering of the individual pins starts at 0 and ends with 7.
+The numbers are for each register GPIO A and GPIO B.
+
+
+!!! important
+	The module requires `i2c` and `bit` C module built into firmware.
+
+
+### Require
+```lua
+mcp = require "mcp23017"
+```
+
+## Example Script
+The example script can be found [here](../../lua_examples/mcp23017/mcp23017_example.lua)
+
+## setup()
+Configures the address of the module and tests the connection to the i2c bus. 
+The i2c id is required for an existing i2c interface, alternatively the sda and scl pins can be specified.
+Then this function will establish the connection.
+Automatically resets the device state (see `mcp23017:reset()`)
+
+#### Syntax
+`mcp23017:setup(address, i2c_id)`
+
+#### Parameter
+- `address` address for MCP23017, default: 0x20 (should be between 0x20 and 0x27)
+- `i2c_id`  id for the i2c bus connection (i2c.setup separately)
+
+#### Return
+`true` if device found, otherwise `false`.
+
+#### possible Errors
+- `MCP23017 device on address not found`
+- `MCP23017 address is out of range`
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+local mcp23017 = require "mcp23017"
+
+local address = 0x20
+local cSCL = 1
+local cSDA = 2
+local i2c_instance = 0
+
+-- setup i2c bus and create instance for mcp23017 (assigned to mcp)
+i2c.setup(i2c_instance, cSDA, cSCL, i2c.SLOW)
+local mcp = mcp23017(address, i2c_instance)
+```
+
+## setMode()
+Set the mode of a single channel. This can be OUTPUT or INPUT.
+
+#### Syntax
+`mcp23017:setMode(register, pin, mode)`
+
+#### Parameter
+- `register` the side of channels (GPA or GPB)
+- `pin` the number to be set for the channel (0-15)
+- `mode` the mode for the channel. This can be `mcp23017.INPUT` or `mcp23017.OUTPUT`
+
+#### Return
+`true`, in case of error `nil`.
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+-- set pin 7 and 8 to output (GPA7 and GPB0) and GPB1 to input 
+mcp:setMode(mcp23017.GPA, 7, mcp23017.OUTPUT)
+mcp:setMode(mcp23017.GPB, 0, mcp23017.OUTPUT)
+mcp:setMode(mcp23017.GPB, 1, mcp23017.INPUT)
+```
+
+## setPin()
+Set the state of a single channel. This can be HIGH or LOW.
+
+#### Syntax
+`mcp23017:setMode(register, pin, state)`
+
+#### Parameter
+- `register` the side of channels (GPA or GPB)
+- `pin` the number to be set for the channel (0-15)
+- `state` the state for the channel. This can be `mcp23017.HIGH` or `mcp23017.LOW`
+
+#### Return
+`true`, in case of error `nil`.
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+-- set pin 7 to high (GPA7)
+mcp:setPin(mcp23017.GPA, 7, mcp23017.HIGH)
+-- set pin 8 to low (GPB0)
+mcp:setPin(mcp23017.GPB, 0, mcp23017.LOW)
+```
+
+## getPinState()
+get the state for a single channel. This can be HIGH or LOW.
+
+#### Syntax
+`mcp23017:getPinState(register, pin)`
+
+#### Parameter
+- `register` the side of channels (GPA or GPB)
+- `pin` the number for which a state is to be queried (0-15)
+
+#### Return
+`true` for HIGH, `false` for LOW, in case of error `nil`.
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+-- get the state for pin 9 (GPB1)
+print(mcp:getPinState(mcp23017.GPB, 1))
+```
+
+## reset()
+By calling this function, a safe state is established. 
+All channels are set to input.
+This function can be used for a panic program.
+
+#### Syntax
+`mcp23017:reset()`
+
+#### Parameter
+None
+
+#### Return

+
+#### Parameter

+
+#### Return
+None
+
+#### Example
+```lua
+-- enable all pullup resistors for GPA
