[Tronixstuff] MCP23017 | I2C Port | Help wanted

I'm now using 4.7kohm resistors on SCL AND SDA. Updated my wiring but still nothing, even with the centipede sheild sketch and libraray.
Here's my updated wiring. I hope it's clear enough

  • The Wire library has also been modified to use the standard read() and
    write() functions instead of send() and receive(). You can also use
    print() and println() for outgoing data.

A little code tweaking is needed.

I saw that in the release notes, but not sure what those tweaks might be. I'm thinking.... the

    Wire.send(a);    // bank A
    Wire.send(a);    // bank B

needs to the set to a byte or hex address and the individual addresses placed in an array. But that's only a guess. Any ideas? perhaps sudo code.
The datasheet:

cheers!
