[Feature Request] Wired Communication to Secondary Microcontroller #747

Description

Describe the feature

I would like to be able to attach microcontrollers together using a wired protocol (probably serial/UART) as opposed to relying on BLE to communicate between them.

Why is this feature useful?

I have much more trust in wired connections than wireless, and barring significant bandwidth/space issues would want to connect my screen or other device(s) via wire. I live in places with lots of weird RF crosstalk, and Bluetooth reliability for many of my devices has been poor.

How complex is this feature?

High - Significant work required

Additional context

I figure this would alter the PCB layout significantly; having it ready on the software side might mean being able to prototype on an off-the-shelf dev board that has free pins. IF (and it's a big if) I can wrap my head around it, I might pull something janky together that implements similar ideas.
