Use to U3 Shield Tinkering Kit

This page introduces how you can use a Tinkering Kit compatible U3 IO Shield.

Using a dual color LED and push button switch.

1. Hardware settings.

2. ODROID-U3 settings.
You will use GPIO-I2C to comunication with U3 IO Shield.

sudo modprobe i2c_dev
sudo modprobe i2c-gpio-custom bus0=4,200,199

To use externel IO port of U3 IO Shield you will attach tca6416 gpio driver to i2c-gpio.4 bus.

echo tca6416 0x20 > /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.4/i2c-4/new_device

Now, you can use GPIO #301 ~ #304 in the Tinkering Kit.

echo 302 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio302/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio302/value

3. Bash shell script example

#!/bin/bash

echo 301 > $GPIOPATH/unexport                                                   
echo 302 > $GPIOPATH/unexport                                                   
echo 303 > $GPIOPATH/unexport

echo 302 > $GPIOPATH/export

echo out > $GPIOPATH/gpio302/direction
