6 cylinder support?

Should Enguino support 6 cylinders?

I'm thinking if 6 cylinder support is added, the best way is to use a second shield, only partially populated.

A custom shield with an i2c ADC for thermocouples should have support for at least one other jumper address.

As an end user, I would like to see 6 cyls. Fantastic work, I just found this today. I am not a coder but hopefully I can help im some aspect.

I'm thinking its possible to use the same shield board populated with little more than the thermocouple ADC and a terminal strip to provide another 8 thermocouples. The new board would be jumpered to a different i2c address so it wouldn't conflict.

The shields would stack on top of each other. This wouldn't be the most convenient as the extra thermocouples would have to be screwed in, followed by inserting the standard shield and then completing the hookup.

The 4 or less cylinder configuration will come first however.
