I was wondering if the ModelT is fast enough to process I2C data, considering that the data is clocked by the sender.
I know I can always use an Arduino to talk to I2C devices, and then use RS232 to talk to the arduino from my ModelT, but cutting out the middle device seems useful. Also - I'm presuming that any such device would need to connect to the system connector through some bit of interface circuitry. I had originally thought that the barcode port would be ideal, except that it's input only. (I guess a small device that took parallel input/output from the system bus and strobed it over the I2C bus, and which delivered return bytes with an interrupt signal would be fairly simple to create, and be less of a load on the ModelT, but that's just rampant speculation. The added complication of not messing with REX could invalidate this idea though.) I don't have a pressing application for doing I2C with my ModelT, since as I've mentioned, there's always the Arduino, but I thought if anyone had experimented or even just daydreamed about such things, it would be the members of this list. :) Thanks, /hdan
