#include <AH/Hardware/ExtendedInputOutput/ExtendedIOElement.hpp>

Detailed Description

An abstract base class for Extended Input/Output elements.

The limited number of IO pins of the Arduino can be extended by adding multiplexers, shift registers, IO expanders, etc.
ExtendedIOElement serves as a base class for all these expanders.

The pins of each extended IO element are mapped to a pin number greater than the greatest Arduino pin number, represented by the ExtIO::pin_t type.
You can supply this pin number to the IO functions in the ExtIO namespace.
If the pin number corresponds to an actual Arduino pin, the default Arduino IO function (digitalRead, digitalWrite, ...) will be called.
If the pin number does not correspond to a valid Arduino pin, it is an extended IO pin number, so the extended IO element that this pin belongs to is looked up, and the IO function for this element is executed with the correct pin number.

For example: Imagine an Arduino with 20 pins (e.g. the Arduino UNO). Pins 0 - 19 will correspond to the Arduino pins, and ExtIO::digitalRead(pin) will have the exact same effect as the standard digitalRead(pin) function (albeit a little slower).
Now, we'll add two 8-channel analog multiplexers, let's call them mux1 and mux2.
The first pin (pin 0) of mux1 will be extended IO pin number 20, the last pin (pin 7) of mux1 will be extended IO pin number 27, etc. The first pin of mux2 will be extended IO pin number 28, you get the idea. If you now call ExtIO::digitalRead(mux1.pin(7)) or ExtIO::digitalRead(27), both will be translated to mux1.digitalRead(7).

The number of extended IO elements is limited only by the size of pin_t. However, looking up the extended IO element for a given extended IO pin number uses linear search, so that might add some noticeable overhead for large pin numbers.

The design here is a compromise: saving a pointer to each extended IO element to find it directly would be faster than having to search all elements each time. On the other hand, it would require each pin_t variable to be at least one byte larger. Since almost all other classes in this library store pin variables, the memory penalty would be too large, especially on AVR microcontrollers.
Another reason to do it this way, is that this approach is still fast enough to make sure it is not noticeable to human users.
If you need faster extended GPIO access, you can use the ExtIO::CachedExtIOPin class.
