Summary
The Blackbird (Crow Emulation) could support I2C by re-purposing the UART pins
Problem / motivation
This would allow for use with the rest of the Monome ecosystem. This is particularly relevant as it seems the Crow has been discontinued.
Proposed idea
I don't own I Workshop Computer yet, but I am interested mostly because of Blackbird. Looking at the dev docs, it's RP2040 based so nearly any pin can be anything, I believe there shouldn't be a problem with using GPIO0/1 for SDA/SCL, then assuming the user will grab ground from ... somewhere?
I might be able to do this myself if I get a unit, but I thought I'd open this issue regardless in case someone else wants to do it before me.
