   Well almost everything does nowadays!  However they do **present** as   
   a single chip with an I2C interface and nothing else.  You don't have   
   to program them as you would an Arduino or an ESPE32. Thus all my   
   configuration and software is in the Pi and all it does is 'talk I2C'   
   down the wires.
