Fixes #98. This adds a simple caching mechanism by storing the in the class and returning it from cache after the first time. I noted that it went from attempting to detect the FT232H 6 times down to 1 with this strategy when using
import board
. The root cause for the issue was that any time we called things like any_raspberry_pi_40_pin, it would have to fetch the chip ID, which was causing it to run all detection routines again. This avoids it unnecessarily running all the routines again, but gives it the value it needs.
