By type, the board carries 18 diodes and 1 connector.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Glorified breakout board + DIN rail case for Pis

This is a Raspberry Pi breakout board + DIN rail case to use Pis in PLC-like industrial situations.

The design relies on a Raspberry Pi 4 for all functions to work. Pi 5 does also work but won't fit the 3D printed case, while Pi 3 and below don't allow for all functions to be used.

The PiPLC is intended to be used with Home Assistant, as well as OpenPLC. Obviously, since it's just a breakout board for any Pi, you can run whatever software you want, but Home Assistant and OpenPLC are the ones inspiring the design of this project.
