Constructors

	Name	Description
	Device	Constructor for a single MCP23017 device.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Direction	Data Direction Property (16 bits). Bits 0 to 7 correspond to PORT A and bits 8 to 15 correspond to PORT B. For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	DirectionA	Port A Data Direction Property (8 bits). For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	DirectionB	Port B Data Direction Property (8 bits). For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	Polarity	Data Polarity Property (16 bits). Bits 0 to 7 correspond to PORT A and bits 8 to 15 correspond to PORT B. For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	PolarityA	Port A Data Polarity Property (8 bits). For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	PolarityB	Port B Data Polarity Property (8 bits). For each bit, 0=input and 1=output.
	Port	Port Data Property (16 bites). Bits 0 to 7 correspond to PORT A and bits 8 to 15 correspond to PORT B.
	PortA	Port A Data Property (8 bits).
	PortB	Port B Data Property (8 bits).
	Pullups	Input Pullup Property (16 bits). Bits 0 to 7 correspond to PORT A and bits 8 to 15 correspond to PORT B. For each bit, 0=high impedance and 1=100k pullup.
	PullupsA	Port A Input Pullup Property (16 bits). For each bit, 0=high impedance and 1=100k pullup.
	PullupsB	Port B Input Pullup Property (16 bits). For each bit, 0=high impedance and 1=100k pullup.
