Hello,
I am starting a project where I will be using a Logger Shield (Adafruit part #243) and an MCP23017 to expand the inputs and outputs. From the MCP23017 I will wire A0 to 5V and A1,A2 to Ground (because the RTC is using address 000 correct? Thus requiring me to address the MCP23017 at 0x21). Also, I was wondering, all the recommendations I have seen for the wiring from the SCL, SDA to A5,A4, respectively, they have a 4.7KOhm resistor going to 5V. However, in the Logger Shield schematic I see that they are using 2.2KOhm resistors to 5V. Should I just use the 2.2KOhm and not install the 4.7KOhm resistors? Will the MCP23017 work ok under these conditions?
Thank you for any help.
David

If the lines are already pulled high you should not need the resistors.
