Re: TI-H: Port Expander I




You were talking about a 4414 or 8515 for lots of I/O.  All the expander
needs to do is:

Write:	rcall	get_ti_nib
	out	PORTA, BYTE ;just a nibble.
	rcall	get_ti_byte
	out	PORTB, BYTE
	rcall	get_ti_byte
	out	PORTC, BYTE
	rcall	get_ti_byte
	out	PORTD, BYTE
	rjmp	Write

or if you wanted bi directional

Main:	rcall get_ti_byte
	cp $01		;read lines
	breq	READ
	cp $02		;write lines
	breq	WRITE
	rjmp Main	;error or done with command

Wouldn't it be much more fun to take 3 data lines on the 8515 and turn
those into 8?  It would be harder though.  Then you'd have a total of 64 I
or O for about $4 and for $8 you could have an easy 64 of I/O.  And thats
figuring you would be using 4 I/O lines for the TI and 2 for read/write
LEDs.

You could even add a 4 bit counter and have up to 16 Shift registers per 3
8515 pins.  Lets say 8 are read and 8 are write.  Thats 512 I/O lines.

And that would only cost....hm..let me grab my 92...$64...  :)

Oh well, it would be fun.  :)  I'd like to have a 512bit expander.  :)
