One of our customers, Bruno Ferreira, has written a new C library for use with the IO Pi Plus expansion board.
One of our most popular development boards is the IO Pi Plus. This board was based on our old IO Pi but updated to fit the newer HAT style introduced with the Raspberry Pi B+.
The IO Pi Plus has been used by thousands of customers worldwide, and we have received lots of positive feedback about the board and our software libraries. We have also received a few suggestions on ways we could improve the board, and after looking at the most popular suggestions, we are proud to announce a new revised version of the IO Pi Plus, version 2.1.
