# Initialize the I2C bus:
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

# Create an instance of either the MCP23008 or MCP23017 class depending on
# which chip you're using:
mcp = MCP23008(i2c)  # MCP23008
# mcp = MCP23017(i2c)  # MCP23017

# Optionally change the address of the device if you set any of the A0, A1, A2
# pins.  Specify the new address with a keyword parameter:
# mcp = MCP23017(i2c, address=0x21)  # MCP23017 w/ A0 set

# Now call the get_pin function to get an instance of a pin on the chip.
# This instance will act just like a digitalio.DigitalInOut class instance
# and has all the same properties and methods (except you can't set pull-down
# resistors, only pull-up!).  For the MCP23008 you specify a pin number from 0
# to 7 for the GP0...GP7 pins.  For the MCP23017 you specify a pin number from
# 0 to 15 for the GPIOA0...GPIOA7, GPIOB0...GPIOB7 pins (i.e. pin 12 is GPIOB4).

# use properties to change this state.

# Now loop blinking the pin 0 output and reading the state of pin 1 input.
