General

This section contains general information about the device, as well as configuration for several device features.

Options​

  • Standard LED patterns:
    • Enable to use the default behavior for TPS (more details here).
    • Disable to specify a custom behavior within your application. To customize this behavior, see LED Pattern block.
  • Device Name: Changes your device's name
  • Application Version: Sets your application's version number. For most use cases, it's not required to manually edit this value, as it's automatically updated by creating a snapshot.
  • Automatic Interface Switching: Enables/disables the automatic switching of network interfaces.
    • The priority is as follows:
      1. Ethernet
      2. Wi-Fi
      3. Mobile
    • This setting should be disabled when the TPS is required to use a certain network interface, e.g. to send an SMS.
    • This setting is also useful for debugging a system with multiple interfaces, as you can use the Ethernet connection for debugging and mobile/Wi-Fi for internet access.
  • Time Zone: Ditto.
  • Debug Print Output: Choose where to display debug messages.
    • Console: This is the terminal within the AppBlocks Editor.
    • Store in Logs: This allows you to read logs within AppBlocks Cloud.
    • LCD Logging: This is the TPS's embedded LCD.
  • Buzzer Frequency: This controls the frequency used by the TPS's Buzzer, a higher frequency emits a higher-pitched sound, a lower frequency emits a lower-pitched sound. The buzzer can be customized using this block.
  • Latitude: Geograpic coordinate
  • Longitude: Geographic coordinate
  • Time Format: Either 12-hour or 24-hour
