Critics' Consensus

“The Pimoroni IO Expander is a compact, affordable add-on board that adds 14 GPIO pins, 8 analog inputs, and 6 PWM outputs to the Raspberry Pi via I2C. It is praised for its plug-and-play ease of use and feature-rich design, though it requires soldering if not used with the Breakout Garden HAT.”

“For just under $10 the IO Expander is a complete no-brainer, and should be in the bits box of every Raspberry Pi enthusiast.”
