Tibbit Sockets and Tiles
As long as you follow electrical specifications for Tibbits you can use and
interconnect them in any way you like. This manual teaches a structured approach
based on Tibbit sockets and tiles. This is the approach used by the Tibbo Project
System.
We will use the term Tibbit socket (or simply socket) to denote a landing space for
a Tibbit. "Socket" here does not mean a physical socket into which a Tibbit can be
plugged. Rather, it describes a space on the board that can accommodate a Tibbit
device. This is not to say that actual physical sockets aren't there. In fact, Tibbits
are installed on physical sockets most of the time. Our TPP2 and TPP3 boards offer
a pair of physical sockets for each Tibbit socket.
More strictly, we will use the term Tibbit socket to describe landing spaces for
single-width C1 or M1 devices. Of course, Tibbits sockets for M1 and C1 are
different.
The following diagram depicts a fragment of the TPP3 board. The diagram shows a
single tile with Tibbit sockets (S5), (S6), (S7), and (S8).
