Size 2 Tibbo Project PCB (TPP2), Gen 2

Size 2 Tibbo Project PCB, Gen 2 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 TPP2 board.

Offering 3 tiles for a total of 6 Tibbit module and 6 Tibbit connector sockets, the TPP2(G2) can be used to create TPS configurations with up to four serial ports, up to 12 relays, or up to 24 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 2 Tibbo Project Box (TPB2). The board is also compatible with and can be assembled into the TPB2L, which features a 320x240 TFT LCD and a 4-button sensor keypad.

The TPP2(G2) is perfect for systems with a medium number of I/O lines. Since the board can control a TFT display and a keypad, it is suitable for applications requiring a human-machine interface (HMI).

The board is an ideal choice for automatic identification and data collection (AIDC) systems, as well as factory, shop, data center, hotel and home safety, security, and automation applications.

The TPP2(G2) 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.

Head to appblocks.io and create your first TPS application today!

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 TPP2(G2) also supports over-the-air firmware upgrades via BLE using our Tibbo Updater app (iOS, Android, web)!
