Size 3 Tibbo Project PCB (TPP3), Gen 2

Tibbo Project System overview

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 is supported by our Online Configurator. The configurator allows defining custom TPS systems, which can then be ordered from our online store.

Performance Advantages Over the Original TPP3 Board

From Low-Code to No-Code With CODY

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

Enter CODY, our online code generator that produces working Tibbo BASIC applications from the information you enter on a few simple configuration screens. For many usage scenarios, such as sensor-to-cloud applications, CODY will output fully functional, immediately deployable TPP3(G2) code.

CODY's magic bullet is AppBlocks. With AppBlocks, all supported features and software modules are represented by functional blocks, which you drag onto and interconnect inside a project canvas. This draw-an-application approach turns CODY into a truly no-code development tool for many types of TPP3(G2) applications.

Here are two short videos that show what CODY is: Part 1, Part 2.

Fast Deployment With the L.U.I.S. App

Anyone who has ever deployed a device on a target network knows that the process often gets stuck over silly little things, like the IP address configuration. You know how it goes: To set the IP address, you need to get to the device's web interface. This may not be possible if its current IP is incompatible with the network... To rectify, you are forced to create a small temporary network, hardcode your notebook's IP, and so on... Your precious time is wasted on silly stuff.

Enter the Loadable User Interface System (L.U.I.S.), our wireless configuration solution for Tibbo devices.

When equipped with the available WA2000 Wi-Fi/BLE add-on module, the basic parameters of the TPP3(G2) are configurable via the BLE interface, using the L.U.I.S. app (iOS, Android, web).

Open the L.U.I.S. app, find the device, and edit the network settings and other basic parameters right on your smartphone!

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