Hello,

I think the following link may help, as it deals with chips (Max6956 and max7300, same type of application as max6953, and same manufacturer) that are very similar in structure, and probably uses the same type of i2c programming model:

http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/forum/Topic.asp?topic_id=3080&forum_id=18&Topic_Title=MAX7300%2B20%252DPort%2BI%252FO%2BExpander&forum_title=No+new+posts+please%21+12

However, be sure to first understand the i2c protocol in all detail. You can study it by looking at the i2c tutorial that is included with the Programming Editor (From the menu: "Help" -> "PICAXE-18X Datasheets" -> "i2c Tutorial".

If you are new I would also suggest to introduce yourself to i2c through simpler devices like the ones mentioned in the tutorial (EEPROM, Clock, I/O).

Studying the i2c material is very rewarding though; Rev-Eds excellent inplementation of the protocol on the PICAXEs allows you to extend the PICAXEs to very powerful machines that allow you to build very useful systems.

Success!
