Program to demonstrate NXP semiconductor's PCA9955B chip working with the BBC micro:bit

Dependencies:   PCA995xA microbit

Fork of PCA9955A_Hello by InetrfaceProducts NXP

This is a simple program that allows you to control each port on a PCA9955B connected over i2c to a BBC micro:bit using a simple USB serial communication program.

I've written it to work with the 2 digit SMD soldering kit I designed. Drop me an email at tb942@hotmail.co.uk for further info on that...
