A few questions about upcoming expanders

[Paranormal Patroler]

Is there a mockup available for that? Curious to see what you managed to fit in 6hp!

I did fit in everything!
Just wait, I will have a real unit before superbooth which is in a month from now.

Ha! I intend to pass by your booth during SB21, although I'll probably be stuck on the Shakmat Booth myself

But none the less, any chance you can give us a bird's eye view of what the i2c implementation brings to the table? I have a Teletype and VCMC on the same case and I'm considering getting a Sweet 16 which since it's more i2c focused, and I would love to know if I need to make 6hp space for the expander or not.

But the real thing will have 6 HP, 2 I2C ports, USB host + Device and more.

Ok, so I've been thinking about this quite a lot. You mentioned on MW that the i2c on NS will mostly be as Leader, although Follower is not out of the question (connecting to Teletype would be a dream!). And your video was showcasing an i2c connection between NS and the ER301. Which commands was NS set up to send to the ER301? Were you using dedicated i2c commands for ER301 (e.g. "SC.TR x y") or were you using generic i2c operators (e.g. "IIS1 cmd value")?

And what is the plan, will these commands (either generic or dedicated) be made available as optional commands in the tracker apart from notes or in a dedicated page like for the NS expanders ... ? I'm curious if I'll be able to control a TXo module via NS in the future via i2c. That sounds like a pretty amazing prospect really.
