Using functions in Python to control the Custard Pi 6 relay card for the Raspberry Pi

Having designed an 8 relay card for the Raspberry Pi using the IIC bus, I had to come up with a way of testing this and providing users with a way of easily using this. I am not a programmer - but as an electronics engineer I have had to work alongside programmers and even had to make minor modifications to programs. This post describes my experiences with this project using the MCP23008.
