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
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
devices. Of course, Tibbits sockets for M1 and C1 are
different.
The following diagram depicts a fragment of the
. The diagram shows a
single tile with Tibbit sockets (S5), (S6), (S7), and (S8).
