The good news we want to share with you today is that the guys over Canonical managed to implement support for the I2C communications protocol and General-purpose input/output (GPIO) on the Raspberry Pi 2 device for Ubuntu Core. Therefore, the Snappy Scope has now extra functionality, such as support for listing installed and stored snaps (.snap packages), as well as support for installing and uninstalling snaps.
