Progress in general is that people start experimenting with their PSOC4 kit. Projects start to take shape, in that mostly everyone starts getting their hardware together to start building!
I've seen some really nice posts exploring features of the PSOC4, and honorable mentions go out to COMPACT for the nice videos and bose for posting a lot of source code.
Also, the first posts have arrived that people realize that their first plans may have been to ambitious. Maybe they are, but I encourage you all to see what IS possible with this hardware!
