#89576 - SW-I2C mostly sufficient !
Responding to: ???'s previous message
There are only some rarely cases, where a hardware I2C was needed or has some advantages:

- multimaster or slave I2C
- very high I2C data rate


In all other cases hardware I2C has no significant advantages (similar CPU load, similar code space). E.g. a single master drive some PCF8574 to drive LEDs or relays or read keys.

So often a proved software I2C was used also on derivates with hardware I2C e.g. to save development time or for easier pin assignment.
