Overview

The PCF8574 IO Expansion Board is used as a remote 8-bit I/O expander for I2C-bus. Up to 8 PCF8574, IO Expansion Board can be connected to the I2C-bus, providing up to 64 I/O ports.
The PCF8574 IO Expansion Board features an I2C pinheader on one side and an I2C connector on the opposite side. Hence, it’s more flexible to connect the board to your development system. The board also supports I2C cascading, allowing the use of multi modules connected to the I2C bus at the same time by connecting the pinheader and connector.

Features

  • Chip: PCF8574
  • Working voltage: 3.3V/5V

This should do what you want. There are a few oddities: only the 9 I/O pins appear in pcb (the jumpers and the I2C connections won’t translate in to pcb.) As well it is possible to daisy chain boards like this:

you need to move the rightmost board towards the left most board to make the connection, due to a Fritzing oddity the other direction will not connect.

when that is done the connections in breadboard go green to indicate connection and rats nest lines appear in schematic indicating the connection.

this is the part that you need to download and load in to Fritzing:
