Merge into CircuitPython? #2

This is very cool! Do you plan on merging the board definition into main CircuitPython? We'd love to have it.

Ya. Let me back up a bit and look into it. I rewrote the I2C interface driver firmware as an Arduino sketch, however, that was mainly to be more consistent with Ben Krasnow's DSKY EL Driver project. I hadn't worked with CircuitPython before this project and I came to like it pretty quickly -- even with the board-specific changes that I needed to add. I have really enjoyed working with Adafruit's line of SAM boards and firmware. The openness is fabulous. It made for an easy jumping off point for creating these custom PCB designs. keep up the great work!

I'll spend some time on it this weekend. I see that my CircuitPython board definition requires a few digital pin additions to reflect the current lamp configuration. I'll send y'all a PR when I'm done.
