A software I2C implementation for sending LED segment patterns over I2C.
This has the same API has TwoWireInterface so it can be a drop-in replacement.
The implementation is very similar to the SimpleTmiInterface class (in the https://github.com/bxparks/AceTMI project) because the TM1637 protocol is very similar to I2C. To keep everything simple, all write and read methods are synchronous (i.e. blocking) because interrupts are not used. This means that we can eliminate the TX and RX buffers, which saves both flash and static memory.
During writing, beginTransmission() sends the START condition and the I2C address (along with the 'write' bit 0x00) right away. Then each write() call sends each byte immediately. The endTransmission() sends the STOP condition. There is no buffering of the data byte passed into the write() method.
During reading, the requestFrom() sends the START condition and the I2C address (along with the 'read' bit 0x01) right away. Then each call to read() returns the data byte from the slave. Before returning from read(), the master sends a NACK if total number of bytes read is not 'quantity', or an ACK if 'quantity' has just been read. A STOP condition is also sent after the last byte, if the 'sendStop' flag of requestFrom() was set to be true (default).

Constructor.
The delayMicroseconds()
may not be accurate for small values on some processors (e.g. AVR) . The actual minimum value of delayMicros will depend on the capacitance and resistance on the DATA and CLOCK lines, and the accuracy of the delayMicroseconds()
function.

Initialize the clock and data pins.
These are open-drain lines, with pull-up resistors. We must not drive them HIGH actively since that could damage the transitor at the other end of the line pulling LOW. Instead, we go into INPUT mode to let the line to HIGH through the pullup resistor, then go to OUTPUT mode only to pull down.

Read byte.
After reading 8 bits, an ACK or NACK will be sent by the master to the slave. ACK means the slave will be asked to send more bytes so can hold control of the data line. NACK means no more bytes will be read from the slave and the slave should release the data line.
If requestFrom() was called with sendStop = true
, a STOP condition will be sent after reading the final byte.
If called when the number of remaining bytes is 0 (which should not happen if the calling program is correctly implemented), this method returns immediately with a 0xff.

Prepare to read bytes by sending I2C START condition.
If sendStop
is true, then a STOP condition will be sent by read()
after the last byte.

Send the data byte on the data bus, with MSB first as specified by I2C.
This loop generates slightly asymmetric logic signals because clockLow() lasts for 2*bitDelay(), but clockHigh() lasts for only 1*bitDelay(). This does not seem to cause any problems with the LED modules that I have tested.
