Description
The MCP23016 is another member of the MCP230xx family, and a predecessor of the MCP23017 that is already supported.
The main differences between the '16 and the '17 (from the CircuiPython point of view), from what I can tell are:
- '16 has no pull up resistor configuration (afaict it's always in pull-up mode);
- '16 doesn't allow atomic operations on the whole 16 I/O lines, instead they are accessed as two 8-bit groups (the same is true for polarity configuration and interrupt config).
Otherwise it's pretty much business as usual from the software side. It's a bit more complicated on the hardware side, which I guess is why they don't recommend it for new hardware projects.
