I'm planning a project where I'll need lots of IO ports.
Some background info about the project:
They will be organized in almost identical modules attached linearly but the setup can vary. (Order and number of modules used will not be consistent). Each module has 5 leds and 6 inputs in the current planning phase, I'd like to keep some reserve though so I'd like to go for a 16 pin device. Per current estimate I'll need 34 modules for the start.
I have used the MCP 23017 with i2C before, so I thought about using a similar approach. However the MCP 23017 and all similar IC's I found only have 3 or less address pins. Does someone know of a similar IC that exposes all 7 address bits or offers a different approach to select all 110 allowed addresses? Or do you have an idea for a different approach to the same problem?
Thank you for your help!!
