The MCP23008 has 8 IO pins which the MCP230xx driver uses as D0 - D7. The MCP23017 has 16 IO pins which the MCP230xx driver uses as D0 - D15. This is visualized in the circuit diagram below but it's important to note that the MCP23017 actually differentiates between PORTA (being A0 to A7) and PORTB (being B0 to B7) - The MCP230xx driver combines the two ports in sequence to translate to pins represented as D0 through D15 for the MCP23017.

The MCP23008/MCP23017 chips allow for both INPUT and OUTPUT - Most of the functionality of the driver is focused on INPUT mode - especially since they allow interrupt reporting and are 5V tolerant.
-OUTPUT functionality is however available as pinmode 5 (Documented later in this Wiki) as an additional option for those who want to use the OUTPUT functionality using the sensor29 command at the expense of ~1Kbyte of flash.

-Mode should correspond with the reset pinmode option used.
-
-Internal pull-up resistors on the MCP23008/MCP23017 is disabled by default for pin mode 1 whilst enabled by default for pin modes 2 through 4 (because they are interrupt enabled pins and we do not want them bouncing up and down - you may disable the internal pull-up on these pins using the sensor29 commands described below if you are biasing them externally)
-
-INT_MODE is disabled for pin mode 1 and pinmodes 5 and 6 (OUTPUT modes) since interrupts are not available for these pin modes.
-
-If specific pins require specific configuration after this command has been issued the pins may individually be configured using:
-
-`sensor29 pin,pinmode,pullup`
-
-For pinmode's 2 through 4 you may also pass an additional optional parameter to set the required behaviour of interrupts on a particular pin, for example:
-
-`sensor29 pin,pinmode,pullup,intmode`
-
-Where intmode can be 0 through 3
-
-If no parameter value for intmode is passed, it will default to intmode 0.
-
-The usage of the above is described in more detail further in this page.

-`sensor29 0,?`

-INT_MODE indicates the interrupt mode for pins which are interrupt enabled (pinmode 2 through 4) - In the example above it is disabled for pin mode 1 (INPUT without INTERRUPT)
-
-The current STATE of the pin as ON or OFF is reported as at the time the command is issued is also reported.

-Weak internal pull-up resistors are only enabled for pinmode 1 through 4 (being INPUT of nature) but the same parameter may also be used to set the default state of an OUTPUT pin on reset/power-up.

### IMPORTANT NOTICE ON USE OF INTERRUPTS
-
**_Only use interrupts on pins which are either explicitly pulled down GND or up to VCC externally as floating pins may cause unintended MQTT responses for pins which are floating. So unless your connected wire/device explicitly pulls the pin to GND or VCC only when conditions of an interrupt would be met it is recommended that you either do not set a pin for an interrupt mode or at least enable pull-up resistors for the unused pins with pullup = 1 when you perform your sensor29 pin,pinmode,pullup command._**
