I2CBusConnection needs an available() method

[pdibona]

Currently, the I2CBusConnection allows reading and writing data. But I see no way to check if data is available before invoking the readByte() method.

I tried using the connection.getInputStream().available() method, but that always throws an IOException about an invalid seek.

If the slave device doesn't respond almost instantly, the readByte() method throws a timeout IOException.

(Otherwise -- you have a great library here! Thanks!)

Hi,

you're right about that. I'll see if something like this is possible.

Kind regards,
