To address the rising cost of the Raspberry Pi, I designed the BRIDGEplate around the RP2350 to allow a PC to interact and control my Pi-Plate boards: https://pi-plates.com. To interface with the boards, I have written software in Python and C that has been tested on Linux, Windows, and macOS. I also created a Labview VI that works in Windows and adapted my free logging program, PIPLATElogger, to work with it as well. The logger works with Windows and macOS but looks terrible in Linux Mint - so, still a bit of work to do on that. For all the technical details documentation, visit: https://pi-plates.com/bridgeplate/
