You can try to change one existing module.
One of the more simple plugins using I2C is Plugin 007: ExtWiredAnalog
So copy the file and change all words with "007" in them into some unused plugin number.
Then compile and you have added a "new" plugin.
After that, start changing and hacking

Hello,

there are some guidelines in the wiki:
https://letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.ph ... Guidelines

Honestly i don't know if these are outdated or still in use.
Anyways it's still a source of information.
