#89891 - Where is the difference between...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Geert said:
When pressing the switch, the level on P0 goes low (switch makes contact with ground) and the LED is deactivated. So, this is OK too.

But when releasing the switch, the level on the pin P0 remains low!!! (measured this with a scope).

and later he said:
I can only have it working fine, when I directly connect P0 to ground or +5Vdc, so no switch nor resistor involved!


Where is the difference between grounding the pin via switch or 'directly'? This makes no sense to me. Your switch isn't damaged, is it?

What happens to the pin's potential (look at it with scope), if you only read the PCF8574?

By the way, do NEVER connect any I/O pin directly to +5V!! Only via current limiting resistor (pull-up)!
