The WA2000 adds 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and BLE4.2 Bluetooth Low-Energy connectivity to compatible programmable Tibbo Technology devices. The module is an upgrade of Tibbo's GA1000 Wi-Fi add-on module, and is fully supported on the company’s ARM-based programmable products EM2000, EM2001, TPP2(G2) and TPP3(G2).
The WA2000 is also partially supported on T1000-based programmable Tibbo products. These devices can only access the Wi-Fi interface of the module, as the BLE interface is not supported by related platforms. The devices are: DS1101, DS1102, EM1000, EM1001, EM1206, TPP2 and TPP3.
The WA2000's internal firmware can be updated from a Tibbo BASIC/C app or over-the-air (OTA). OTA updates are performed from iOS and Android Tibbo Updater apps. A single OTA update file may contain not only the new firmware for the WA2000's internal CPU, but also TiOS and compiled Tibbo BASIC/C app for the host device (such as the EM2000). This means that an entire programmable Tibbo device can be updated over the air and using a single file.
In addition, Tibbo has developed an app for configuring compatible devices via the BLE interface of the WA2000. Dubbed L.U.I.S., or Loadable User Interface System, the app relies on HTML5-formatted data to present the user with configuration pages sent by Tibbo devices. A simple-to-use library that adds L.U.I.S. support to the Tibbo BASIC/C app is also available.
The WA2000 utilises the SPI interface and requires only five I/O lines to control. The module is supplied in two versions: the WA2000U with an U.FL connector for attaching an external antenna, and WA2000C device with a chip antenna onboard.
