Welcome to Tribotix's Wiki - this is where we'll keep User Manuals for our products as well as links to relevant schematics, source code, firmware and component datasheets.

We have an open project & open source policy for all our products, but we limit this to our customers. Why? We want to provide our customers with ALL the information they need, but we need to protect our designs from those who might have the wrong intentions. So, if you'd like access to any schematics, source code, firmware and/or component datasheets in our secure area then please send a request to wiki@tribotix.com letting us know why you need access - e.g. my Uni just bought .... and I need access to ....

NB. This site is a work in progress and it probably always will be - it may not look pretty to start with but getting the information available for our patient customers is the most important thing for use to do at the moment. Contributions by users and developers are most welcome - simply create an account and start typing.
