Freeplay CM4

[smoscar01]

tldr; I think my wiring was too long and/or had some short somewhere.

I ended up redoing the wiring but this time I used shorter magnet wire to connect to pins 44 and 45 on the Freeplay board (see attached picture)

I then used the i2c6 configuration with GPIO0 as data and GPIO1 as clock and finally saw I2C devices 

Code:

pi@retropie:~ $ i2cdetect -l
i2c-6 i2c      bcm2835 (i2c@7e205c00)          I2C adapter
pi@retropie:~ $ i2cdetect -y 6
    0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          03 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 48 -- -- 4b -- 4d -- 4f
50: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
60: -- -- 62 -- -- -- -- -- --

I then edited the `mk_arcade_joystick.conf` to use bus 6 and I got joysticks running now

Thanks for the patience, Flavor
