Easily Add Cellular Connectivity to Your TPS-Based Products

The ubiquity of smartphones and other connected devices means that there is cellular coverage nearly everywhere, particularly in industrial and business areas. This makes cellular connectivity ideal for Internet of Things applications: It provides reliable Internet access without requiring the infrastructure and cost of Ethernet or Wi-Fi networks.

The Tibbo Project System (TPS) currently features not one, but two modules that implement cellular connections: 4G (LTE) modem Tibbit #45 and Cat-M1/NB-IoT modem Tibbit #46. Use either to liberate your TPS-based products from the shackles of wired networks or as a backup connection for mission-critical applications.

The modular nature of the TPS platform means that adding and configuring a cellular modem Tibbit can take as little as a few minutes. The video below demonstrates how to configure Tibbit #45 on our Size 3 Linux Tibbo Project PCB (LTPP3), Gen. 2 running Tibbo’s Yocto-based distribution.

Tibbo also supplies the libraries to facilitate configuring the cellular modem Tibbits on our Ubuntu-based distribution for the LTPP3(G2) and TiOS-based boards, such as the Size 2 Tibbo Project PCB (TPP2), Gen. 2 and the Size 3 Tibbo Project PCB (TPP3), Gen. 2.

Subscribe to IO Ninja Before the Price Goes Up

Since IO Ninja moved to an account-based licensing model in September last year, we’ve continued refining the user experience and adding new functionality. Some of the highlights include:

• A new regex-based log colorizer
• A command-line client for IO Ninja hardware
• New plugins:
  • WebSocket Client and Server
  • Serial over SSH
  • Serial Tap over SSH
  • Ethernet Tap over SSH
• Color themes in terminal
• System dark UI theme support

While many of these features are included in the base IO Ninja package, others are capabilities that must be purchased individually. Of course, all capabilities and features are included in subscriptions.

We plan to introduce several new major features to IO Ninja in the coming months, including a USB monitor, regex-based delimiters (see the above screenshot), and a form pane. Accompanying these additions will be a price increase for subscriptions and some capabilities. This means that time is running out for you to get subscriptions at their current price — as little as US$5 per month.

Already have an IO Ninja subscription? Then there’s nothing to worry about: your price is locked in at its current rate. Continue enjoying IO Ninja!
