***************************************

To use this feature, you must be running software version 4.3 or higher. Currently, you can only use multiple Magnetic Modules or multiple Temperature Modules.
You won't be able to load multiple Thermocycler Modules.

To use multiple modules, load two modules of the same type into your protocol. The robot will then map out
each module in order of appearance to the physical robot ports in order of appearance. That means if you load
two Temperature Modules, the Temperature Module attached to the first port starting from the left will be related to the first Temperature
Module in your protocol while the second Temperature Module loaded would be related to the Temperature Module connected to the
next port to the right.
You won’t be able to load multiple Thermocycler Modules.

The following diagram shows the mapping of two Temperature Modules on the robot.

def run(protocol: protocol_api.ProtocolContext):
# Load Temperature Module A in deck slot 1 on port 1 of the robot.
temperature_module_a = protocol.load_module('temperature module gen2', 1)
# Load Temperature Module B in deck slot 3 on port 1 of the hub.
temperature_module_b = protocol.load_module('temperature module gen2', 3)
Referencing the diagram, you should make sure that Temperature Module A in slot 1 is plugged into
port 1 of the robot and Temperature Module B in slot 3 is plugged into port 1 of the hub.

If for whatever reason you want to plug Temperature Module B into a port to the left of Temperature Module A,
you should load Temperature Module B before Temperature Module A.

# Load Temperature Module 2 in deck slot 3 on port 2 of the robot.
temperature_module_2 = protocol.load_module('temperature module gen2', 3)
Referencing the diagram, you should make sure that Temperature Module 1 in slot 1 is plugged into port 1 of the robot and Temperature Module 1 in slot 3 is plugged into port 2 of the robot.
If for whatever reason you want to plug Temperature Module 2 into a port to the left of Temperature Module 1, you should switch the modules physically on your robot.

The Opentrons App will display USB Port information while using modules in your protocol. You can also use the
guidelines from above to get a predictable module order in Jupyter Notebook, but it will not display USB Port information
in Jupyter Notebook.
