Adding adafruit libraries for ToF sensor and i2c multiplexer #8

Both of those libraries appear to be pure python, so they shouldn't need to be built for roborio? Have you just tried installing them via robotpy-installer first?

Yes, but I got errors which is why I started going down this road. Maybe I misunderstand the error?

Ugh. The problem is that the library isn't distributed as a wheel (see https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-vl6180x/#files for the downloads), and I seem to recall that pip was being stupid about non-wheel packages when we implemented robotpy-installer's download functionality.

We need a better story for dealing with this, but putting it in roborio-wheels isn't really the right answer. I'll think about it tonight.. but for now, you should be able to do 'pip download NAME', and then move all of the files it downloads to ~/wpilib/2022/robotpy/pip_cache/

Thanks Dustin, I'll do that.

FWIW, looks like they have public CI/CD builds. Could try updating their builds to include wheels.
