// Import the PCF8574 class from the pcf8574 module
import {PCF8574} from 'pcf8574';

// Import the i2c-bus module and open the bus
import {I2cBus, openSync as I2cBusOpenSync} from 'i2c-bus';
const i2cBus:I2cBus = I2cBusOpenSync(1);

// Define the address of the PCF8574/PCF8574A
const addr:number = 0x38;

// Init a new PCF8574 with all pins high by default
// Instead of 'true' you can also use a 8-bit binary notation to define each
// pin speratly, e.g. 0b00101010
const pcf:PCF8574 = new PCF8574(i2cBus, addr, true);

// Enable interrupt detection on BCM pin 17 (which is GPIO.0)
pcf.enableInterrupt(17);

// Alternatively you can use for example an interval for manually poll every 250ms
// setInterval(pcf.doPoll.bind(pcf), 250);

// Note the missing ; at the end of the following lines.
// This is a Promise chain!

// Define pin 0 as inverted output with initally false
pcf.outputPin(0, true, false)

// Then define pin 1 as inverted output with initally true
.then(function(){

// Then define pin 7 as non inverted input
.then(function(){
  return pcf.inputPin(7, false);
})

// Delay 1 second
.delay(1000)

// Then turn the pin on
.then(function(){
  console.log('turn pin 0 on');
  return pcf.setPin(0, true);
})

// Delay 1 second
.delay(1000)

// Then turn the pin off
.then(function(){
  console.log('turn pin 0 off');
  return pcf.setPin(0, false);
});

// Add an event listener on the 'input' event
pcf.on('input', function(data:PCF8574.InputData){

  // Check if a button attached to pin 7 is pressed (signal goes low)
  if(data.pin === 7 && data.value === false){
