Title: fpsystem - linux
Post by: Mi-Ki on June 14, 2018, 09:18:15 am
Hello.

I have an MCP23017 expander.

This works
fpsystem('sudo i2cset -y 1 0x21 0x13 0x00');
fpsystem('sudo i2cset -y 1 0x21 0x13 0xFF');

How to read the expander status?

This does not work
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  Var
  2.    S: Integer;
  3.  begin
  4.    S:= fpsystem('sudo i2cget -y 1 0x21 0x13');
  5.    Label1.Caption:= IntToStr(S);
  6.  end;

If i2cget return result to the pipe, use TProcess to read pipe output.
