Peter Scargill Nano peripheral

Created by Peter Scargill last modified
// This update May 2018 Peter Scargill
//
// So this is a relatively simple,cheap peripheral using a £1.50 NANO board from China.
// It is supported by my ESP8266 software but as it is an I2c slave you could run it
// from anything able to handle I2c. For example I have found that some of the NanoPi SBCs
// are not too keen on even a bright LED on their IO pins and from an operating
// system like Linux, getting PWM on several pins is just not on... so - plug in this device
// (default ID 9) with pullups (always needed for I2c) and you can gain PWM, ADC
// and general IO for very little money or better, use with ESP-GO to add veryu inexpensive funtionality to the ESP8266.
//
//
// As a guide you could use 3,5,6 and 9, 10 and 11 for PWM (unless you use these pins for general IO)
// you can use 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 and 13 as input/output (I tried using 0 and 1 for GPIO - no go - 0 flashes
// on power up - 1 has pullup - best just avoid using these two for general IO - use for serial IO).
// remember 13 probably has a LED attached on the board so best used for output.
//
// You could use A0 (14), A1 (15), A2 (16) and A3 (17) as analog or digital inputs - possibly
// A6 (20) and A7 (21) if available on your board. Set to 1.1v full scale.
// A4 and A5 are used for the I2c where A4 is SDA and A5 is SCL.
//
// On the blog at https://tech.scargill.net you'll see several examples of using I2c.
//
// Late addition - servos - any of the pins 2-13 can be a servo. command is 11 - so device, command, pin, value
// Send value 255 to disconnect a servo and note if ANY pin is set up as a servo you lose PWM options on pins 9 and 10.
// Just disconnect all individually to get the PWM back (normally all disconnected at power up).
// Values 0-180 but this varies with different servos. Mine buzzed at 0 !! See Arduino Servo library
//
// The board becomes a simple i2c SLAVE - default (programmable) device number 9 - reads instructions from
// master and either sets outputs or returns inputs accordingly.
//
// There is also now a soft fade option for PWM, a tone generator and Dallas temperature chip support for up to 2 chips.
// Here I use a simplified version of my DS18B20 code from years back. This starts the conversion at the END
// of the code - so the first value is rubbish - read the blog as this is hidden - and there are no delays. On the assumption of one chip
// per pin, no need for search either!

// This version returns 6 bytes - the LAST one is a status byte - 1 if busy. I'm using serial for debug right now - so can't use 
// serial command - simply scrap that if you want to use serial out.
