Hands On Workshop:

Introduction to PSoC 4 (C) Architecture with support for Arduino (C) Shields

Patrick Kane, Director, Cypress University Alliance

Mike Daly, Cypress Sr. Staff Engineer


Abstract:

The PSoC (c) IDE combines a context sensitive C editor with a Schematic
Capture GUI for designing mixed signal functions with libraries of
analog and digital virtual hardware; after place, route and compilation,
you flash the completed design onto a piece of target hardware. The
integrated hardware / software co-designs use a unified bitstream image
of your application to program a reconfigurable Cypress Semiconductor
PSoC, situated on a compact printed circuit board development target
containing several sensors and LEDs.
This seminar consists of an introduction to the PSoC 4 (c) architecture
and associated Pioneer development board and kit. Patrick will
demonstrate how Arduino shields can be used with the Pioneer board. The
bulk of the workshop will consist of labs using the new Cypress PSoC 4
Pioneer kit. All attendees will receive a CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer kit
so you can continue the exercises on your own at home.


The PSoC (c) Creator software that will be used in the workshop is free
and available for download at www.cypress.com . Please install the
latest version of the software on a laptop that you will bring with you
prior to the workshop so that we can minimize the amount of workshop
time we spend on installation issues. PSoC Creator is WIN based and as
such will only run on PCs or MACs running a WIN environment.

This seminar is free, but you must register at
http://psocarduino.eventbrite.com so we have enough development kits and
food.


The workshop will be held in MIT Room E51-345.  E51 is the Tang Center
on the corner of Wadsworth and Amherst Sts and Memorial Dr.; it's mostly
used by the Sloan School. You can see it on thismap of the MIT campus.
Room 345 is on the 3rd floor.
