Being new to IO Pi I might be missing something.I would like to use the IO Plus as an Open Drain output. Looking at the ABE_IoPi.h I did not find a function that would specify wether the output was to be open drain or not.How would I set this?Thank you for your help, as I said, still a newbi. Yours, Martin von Hauff

Hello Martin
I do not think it is possible to see the output pins as open-drain on the IO Pi Plus. According to the datasheet for the MCP23017 which is used on the IO Pi Plus the only pins that can be set as open drain are the interrupt pins. At the moment the C library does not include a function for setting the mode of the interrupt pins but I can add that in if you need it.
