If getting this to work using python to read analog signals was a pain for you, implementing I2C would be more like torture. It's kind of like ladder logic on a plc, but with 3 wires. The interface works very well once debugged, but each device has its own set of limits and standards. When things go awry, it's difficult to figure out what's going wrong. Not fun at all.
