Check out this project: Shows how to use an IO port expander with I2C protocol via 8051 controller to utilize a 7 seg display!
For my electronics class, my project required communicating with an I2C peripheral (MCP4725 DAC, adafruit breakout board). I got stuck trying to use the ‘410 SMBus; example code from the application note is very...
