Motherboard

Motherboard is the real state of computer. All the computer ports [input,output,processing] are connected in this board.Motherboard is made by using fiber glass materials on which conductor circuit are printed.

Motherboard PCB may have 4 to 16 layers on each layer various circuit are printed. Inner layer of the board contains circuit for data & outer layer are used to carry power signal and control signals.

Various parts ,slots,headers& socket are inbuilt on Motherboard which are used to connect input,process and output parts.

Multiple mcp23017 interfacing with Arduino

MCP23017 is the I/O port extender that runs on 12C. It is 16-bit I/O expender.in this tutorial we are going to interface the single and multiple  mcp23017 with arduino.  fig:- mcp32017 module IT has 16 I/O ports from PA0 to PA7 and PB0 to PB7. first of all we are going to interface the single mcp23017 with Arduino. For this  connect the circuit as shown on figure. Download the library for mcp23017  from  sketch-- include library -- manage libraries.
