Bridge

BRIDGE

Background bridge for writing pins on another device or token context.

Behavior

  • Useful for multi-board rigs and shared automation layers.
  • Should eventually be represented in web topology views.
  • Requires careful permissions in the backend because writes cross device or token boundaries.

Firmware contract

Think of it as routing rather than rendering: it transfers values across device contexts.

On the app side this widget snaps to the 8-column square grid and uses none resizing. Its raw type is BRIDGE and the matching icon token in the app is arrow.left.arrow.right.

Pin support: Bridges between devices or token scopes instead of binding one visible pin.

Transmission: Forwards values into another board/device context.

Operational limits

Permissions and ownership boundaries matter more than widget chrome

Configuration surface

  • needs a clear target device or token context
  • often hidden from end-user dashboards and exposed more in ops tooling

Limits and caveats

  • Permissions and ownership boundaries matter more than widget chrome
  • easy to misuse without audit logs
  • In serious deployments this belongs to ops and project policy, not casual end-user canvas editing
