I2c button controls

I was wondering if anyone has written any code for the i2c control board that kitschbent has? I've used the search and found someone who made something for Arduino , but I was hoping to see if anyone has worked with connecting it straight to the pi? Admittedly I'm more of a hardware guy than a software , so my abilities are lacking a bit here to do it myself. Any help is appreciated !

edit: i think some of it also might be for arduino, so it may not all be of much help (but check it out if you havent seen them already)....

Thanks k you for those links veteran. I have seen them, the joystick library piqued my interest. When I looked more into it, it seemed a lot of people were having issues getting it to work. I looked at the code, and it helped get a better understanding if I should go the route of coding it myself. Was looking to see if anyone came up with a more watered down approach, as his code seemed to add a few more things that I was looking for.
I followed the kitschbent link you gave. Where I then followed another Google link on some basic examples of the ic. Also helped a bit, so thank you.
As of now it looks like I may have to lean more towards writing my own, which is a little daunting as I have not written for pi specifically before. So if anyone else has experience with this, please feel free to chime in

I won't be able to confirm it unfortunately as the port extender ic I ordered hasn't arrived yet

Ok no worry, later, when you will have your port extender
