Part Number:CY8CKIT-024
The CapSense® Proximity Shield Kit (CY8CKIT-024) is intended for use as a hardware or software development platform in a laboratory environment. This product is an open-system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure, so it may cause interference with other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference. In such cases, you may be required to take adequate preventive measures. Also, this product should not be used near any medical equipment or RF devices. Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory default settings may affect its performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such interference is detected, suitable mitigating measures should be taken. The CapSense Proximity Shield Kit (CY8CKIT-024), as shipped from the factory, has been verified to meet the requirements of CE as a Class A product.

Features

Industry's Best Capacitive Proximity Sensing Solution
The CY8CKIT-024 CapSense Proximity Shield enables you to evaluate the proximity sensing capabilities of Cypress's industry-leading CapSense solutions. Designed to work with the Cypress PSoC Pioneer kits, you can evaluate advanced proximity sensing features including Liquid Tolerance, Wake-On-Approach and Gesture Detection using the 5 proximity loops on the CY8CKIT-024.

Support for 3D Gestures
With the CY8CKIT-024 CapSense Proximity Shield, Cypress is taking proximity detection to the next level, by providing users with three dimensional gesture recognition capabilities. The example projects shipped with the shield provides users with the ability to measure proximity in the X, Y, and Z directions.

Leverage the PSoC 4 Architecture
PSoC 4 is Cypress's newest ARM-based PSoC, featuring the low-power Cortex-M0 core combined with PSoC's unique programmable mixed-signal hardware IP, resulting in the industry's most flexible and scalable low-power mixed-signal architecture. The CY8CKIT-024 is designed to work with the Cypress PSoC Pioneer kits (CY8CKIT-040 and CY8CKIT-042) allowing you to prototype advanced systems which feature proximity sensing capabilities (for e.g. a motor control system which is controlled by gestures).
