Purpose

Here's an overview of how Tulip connects with devices to Mobile or Desktop Players

Glossary

  1. HTTPS – HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure: A secure version of HTTP that encrypts data between a user's browser and a web server using SSL/TLS. Commonly used for safe web browsing and online transactions.

  2. WSS – WebSocket Secure: A secure, real-time communication protocol that runs over HTTPS (TLS). Used for two-way communication in web apps like chats, dashboards, and IoT systems.

  3. AMQP – Advanced Message Queuing Protocol: A messaging protocol designed for reliable, asynchronous communication between systems. Often used in enterprise applications and message brokers like RabbitMQ.

  4. LAN – Local Area Network: A private network that connects devices within a limited area such as a home, office, or factory. Devices on a LAN can communicate directly without needing internet access.

  5. RS232 – Recommended Standard 232: A serial communication standard used to connect computers and peripheral devices. Often found in older or industrial equipment, using simple one-to-one wired communication.

  6. USB – Universal Serial Bus: A widely-used interface for connecting devices like keyboards, storage drives, and printers to a computer. Supports both data transfer and power supply.

  7. Serial – A communication method where data is sent one bit at a time over a single channel or wire. Used in protocols like RS232 and USB, and common in embedded systems and hardware interfaces.

  8. GPIO – General Purpose Input/Output: Programmable pins on a microcontroller or computer that can be used to read digital inputs (like buttons) or control outputs (like LEDs or motors).

Desktop Player

Desktop Players can connect to devices directly via a USB cable, a direct IP connection, or via another player device. In addition, users can leverage Ege devices in conjunction with USB/RS232/Serial/RS232 to talk to devices.

Mobile Player

Mobile Players can connect to devices directly via another player device. In addition, users can leverage Ege devices in conjunction with USB/RS232/Serial/RS232 to talk to devices.
