Drop `i2cPorts` #145

Open lorennorman opened 2 months ago

lorennorman commented 2 months ago

We want to drop I2C settings from the JSON, because:

the SDA and SCL pins are always known in C and Python for every board's primary I2C port
we don't support more than 1 i2c port yet anyway
protobuf traffic will get smaller without the extra payload

Some backend code references this JSON property and so needs to be cleaned up:

mqtt broker uses it to build the v1 protobufs
- THIS MEANS WE CAN'T DROP THE FIELDS UNTIL WE SUNSET V1
wipper frontend uses this property's present to decide if a device supports i2c
- would need to be replaced with at least some kind of i2cSupport: true boolean
