Opentrons magnetic module backend GEN1/2

Hi PLR team! First time poster, long time fan!

Can anyone confirm that the Opentrons magnetic module GEN1/2 backend has not yet been added to PLR? I have not been able to find one. My trainee generated a working one, that we would contribute if not.

If applicable: Unlike static magnetic plates (treated as plate adapters in PLR) this module has a raise/lower magnets function. Any specific guidelines on how we should classify this module to adhere to the existing PLR framework?

welcome to the forum!

we do not have this yet. if you could contribute this that would be great!

in the latest design (for v1 release) drivers are mostly standalone objects, so classification is just for documentation. on the resource modeling side, I think a plate adapter makes sense?
