Hey, I recently got into Go and loved the idea of using it for microcontrollers in a new project.
I have a bunch of ESP32-C3 superminis but I can't get tinygo to build for them.
I'm on a MacBook Pro M3 Pro on Sonoma with Tinygo and Esptool installed via Homebrew.
I've tried following the blinking LED example adjusted to work with the esp32c3

main.go
package main

import (
	"machine"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	led := machine.GPIO8
	led.Configure(machine.PinConfig{Mode: machine.PinOutput})
	for {
		led.Low()
		time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 500)

		led.High()
		time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 500)
	}
}

But building fails with the following output:

❯ tinygo build -target=esp32c3
# machine
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tinygo/0.31.2/src/machine/machine_esp32c3_i2c.go:38:16: undefined: SCL_PIN
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tinygo/0.31.2/src/machine/machine_esp32c3_i2c.go:41:16: undefined: SDA_PIN

I guess it's something with the i2c implementation, but I'm not familiar enough with Go or this project to pinpoint the exact issue yet.
Since building with -target=esp32 works fine, I've tried flashing with that but it won't work either.

❯ tinygo flash -target=esp32  
esptool.py v4.7.0
Serial port /dev/cu.usbmodem1101
Connecting...

A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-C3 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?
error: failed to flash /var/folders/93/m682qq_n5klc2btq3q_cb_0c0000gq/T/tinygo1642084370/main.bin: exit status 2

Thanks a lot for making all this in the first place, I can't wait to use Go for microcontrollers!
