MCP.read(pin) always returns 1 about mcp23s17 HOT 11 CLOSED

thanks for reporting this issue, as I am rather busy I have little time to investigate.
might take several days

from mcp23s17.

No problem. Im currently also investigating the issue.

from mcp23s17.

Some questions:

• Have you connected the line 10 to the select line of the MCP23S17?
• if I understand it well it returns 1 even if you connect to GND?
• there is no pull up resistor in your hardware?

from mcp23s17.

Some answers :)

• im using pin 42 as CS
• Yes i had now im only getting 0 even if high im not sure why it flipped
• No its just a switch that changes from VCC to GND

Could you run a test with software Spi ?
You should be able to use the same pins.

MCP23S17 MCP(select, datain, dataout, clock)

A thought popped up
Could it be that datain and dataout were swapped?

from mcp23s17.

Okay so i tried it with sw SPI. The Outputs are still working no reaction from the inputs. I hooked the Inputs directly to VCC testet the voltage. I have 3.3V on the PIN.

Do you use this one - https://www.mikroe.com/expand-2-click (I2C)
or - https://www.mikroe.com/expand-click (SPI)

just to be sure.

I got the Mirkoe-951
As far as i saw thats the SPI version. What i think is wierd is that the Outputs are working
BTW props for the amount of libs you crated

from mcp23s17.

News
I found a second click board and i tried that. It just works now. Thanks A lot anyway. Hope you keep up the great work. I donated you a bit. Sorry for the time waste.

Sorry for the time waste.

If you learn something, time is never wasted!
Was it a different type of board, or is the first one a faulty one? just to understand the root cause.

Hope you keep up the great work, I donated you a bit.

Will do so, thank you, much appreciated!

from mcp23s17.

The board was just faulty only the port i used as a output was working i changed the port i uses as input to output and it didnt work anymore. :( Thanks have a nice day
