MCP23017

We have two MCP23017 to interface with all encoders. These chips are placed on a separate PCB that is fixed to the frontpanel. We have exactly one spot that fits :-). The PCB is a 5x7 PCB that is cut to 5x4 size, so we need to drill two extra holes.

Dimensions:

  • Minimal pins: 15 x 17
  • Minimal dimensions: 44 x 38

At these dimensions, it is almost impossible to screw the board to the front panel. It would be better to have a little bit more room to drill some extra holes outside the dimensions above (maybe 44 x 50 would be perfect - if that is possible)

BOM

  • 1x 5x7 PCB
  • 2x MCP23017
  • 2x 28pin IC socket
  • 3x female header 8pins (using male jumper cable to all encoders)
  • 1x female header 10pins (this one has to extra GND pins)
  • 1x male header 6pins (to Teensy PCB)
  • 1x female-female jumper cable 6pins (to Teensy PCB)
  • 1x male or female 1pin (for ground to all encoders)
