Review on HiLetgo PCF8574 PCF8574T IO Expansion Board I/O Expander I2C Evaluation Development Module (2pcs) by James Richardson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Worked well but no quality control

Update: The seller came forward to fix it and very apologetic about the initial problem so I'm changing my rating based on the good Customers have upgraded from 2 stars to 4 stars service. I ordered this two pack but one of them came without a square connector on the board. It's not damaged or broken, it doesn't exist at all! They just didn't solder the connector at the time of manufacture and put it in a pocket with no connector installed. The chips on the board were Philips A series (base address 0x38). Note that you need a pull-up resistor to drive anything with this chip (even to drive a relay via opto I had to use an external pull-up resistor. I have a 3.3kΩ pull -up resistor used when I used 3.3 I /OB it seemed to work fine)

Pros
  • Pleased
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
