EM1000 Programmable IoT Module

In full production, but not recommended for new designs. Consider the EM2000 device instead.

Explore other programmable modules...

The EM1000 is a full-featured Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable IoT Module with Ethernet, as well as optional Wi-Fi* and 4G/LTE cellular** connectivity. The EM1000 has four UARTs.

The device's capabilities are further enhanced by the onboard flash memory hosting a hardened fault-tolerant file system, as well as the EEPROM and RTC. The RTC backup supercapacitor can be installed on the module ("-S" ordering option) or connected externally.

The EM1000 has 54 general-purpose I/O lines and can control an externally attached LCD, keypad, buzzer, card readers, serial devices, and other circuitry.

Device pins have the standard 2.54mm (100mil) pitch. This makes the module ideal for use not only in production devices but also for prototyping.

Module testing and evaluation can be performed with our EM1000EV kit. The EM1001 board, a close relative of the EM1000, is also a very convenient testing option.

* Requires the WA2000 Wi-Fi add-on, which can be connected externally or piggybacked on top of the EM1000 ("EM1000G" ordering code).

** Requires a standard 4G/LTE modem (i.e., Simcom's SIM7500) to be connected to a UART of the EM1000.

Here is How You Can Use the EM1000

As a Serial-over-IP (SoI)
Device

Serial-over-IP conversion is a large part of what we do, and there is an entire section of our website dedicated to serial converters (a.k.a. "serial device servers"). We offer a free open-source serial-over-IP (SoI) app that turns the EM1000 into a full-featured four-port serial-to-IP converter.

Build Your Own
IoT Solution

The EM1000 is programmable in Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C. Develop your very own IoT solution from scratch or take inspiration from our open-source applications and code samples published in the Code and Apps section.
