Now I've got LinuxCNC (both RTAI and PREEMPT_RT) connected to my 3D
printer and moving around the X/Y/Z/A(E) axis, I need to get some
temperature control wired up.  I would like to just hang a few ADCs
off of some parallel port pins programmed to function as an I2C bus.

So...has anyone implemented a serial expansion protocol such as I2C or
SPI via the parallel port for LinuxCNC?

It's pretty easy to bit-bang these protocols, but the code would have
to gracefully co-exist with software stepgen.  Throughput wouldn't
really matter much, as the thermal time constants are pretty long so
even a few samples/s would probably enable a working PID loop.
