TPP2(G2)TPP3(G2)LTPP3(G2)TPP2TPP3

Size 3 Tibbo Project PCB (TPP3), Gen 2

Size 3 Tibbo Project PCB is a Tibbo BASIC/C-programmable board belonging to the Tibbo Project System (TPS) line. The board offers substantial speed and functionality improvements over its predecessor — the original TPP3 board.

Offering 7 tiles for a total of 14 Tibbit module and 14 Tibbit connector sockets, the TPP3 can be used to create TPS configurations with up to four full serial ports, up to 25 relays, or up to 47 control lines, such as opto-inputs, PWMs, or open-collector outputs.

This product can be used as a bare board or assembled into a size 3 Tibbo Project Box (TPB3).

Size 3 Tibbo Project PCB is ideal for applications requiring no human-machine interface while calling for a significant number of I/O lines and functions. The TPP3 can be used to replace dumb PLC controllers or work as a safety, security, or access control device. The board is also ideal for factory, lab, shop, building, hotel, and home automation projects.

The TPP3 board is supported by AppBlocks, a flowchart-based, no-code, in-browser application development platform.

Create TPS apps with AppBlocks

No-code software development is the future because no one has the time to write and debug applications line-by-line.

Enters AppBlocks, our flowchart-based, no-code, in-browser application development system for Tibbo Project System devices.

In AppBlocks, supported features are represented by functional blocks, which you drag onto and interconnect inside a project canvas. This draw-an-application approach allows you to quickly create complete automation and IoT applications for security, access control, building automation, data collection, precision agriculture, and other fields.

Streamlined Deployment With LUIS

Anyone who has ever deployed a device in the field knows that the process often gets stuck over silly little things, like the IP address configuration. Enters the Loadable User Interface System (LUIS), our wireless configuration solution for Tibbo devices.

Equip your TPS system with the WA2000 Wi-Fi/BLE add-on, enable LUIS in your AppBlocks application, and define what settings will be exposed through this interface. A typical list includes the IP address, DHCP, Wi-Fi SSID, password, and other basic parameters.

Now your users will be able to configure these essential settings via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection from the LUIS app (iOS, Android, web).

It gets even better: The TPP3(G2) also supports over-the-air firmware upgrades via BLE using our Tibbo Updater app (iOS, Android, web)!
