Hello!
We will be continuing the 100 projects in 100 days on Monday, but today we wanted to celebrate the half way point of this series. We want to thank all of the community members who have participated in the series so far. We see you and we thank you. You have provided content for posts, helped users with their questions, and commented on our examples. Your participation is invaluable and it is what makes this Pioneer community.
I know you typically see Gagan or myself posting these projects. While we have made some of the examples, the overwhelming majority of the projects have come from Cypress engineers working with the Pioneer kit to create the content you see. There is an absolute buzz around the kit here at Cypress and we are very lucky to be able share that with you. We are all makers, hackers, tinkerers like you and we are looking forward to continuing to bring great examples showcasing the PSoC 4 devices and the Pioneer kit.
First-50 Summary
I wanted to recap and summarize what we have done so far. In our first 50 projects we’ve showcased the flexibility and mixed-signal interoperability of the PSoC 4. The projects have included:
- Starter Designs – simple projects to get you started with the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit
- Digital Designs – Numerous digital designs across many applications
- LED Control
- Digital Sensors
- Motor control and Robotics
- PWMs
- Audio
- Analog Designs
- ADC examples showcasing the powerful SARADC on the PSoC 4
- Communication Designs, including
- Wired – SPI, UART, I2C, Ethernet
- Wireless – Xbee, Bluetooth, WiFi
- Display Designs, including
- 7 Segment display
- Graphics LCD display
- Character LCD display
- Touch Sensing Designs, including
- CapSense (capacitive touch)
- Proximity (capacitive proximity)
- Resistive touch
Whats in store for the Next-50?
Over the coming weeks we will be releasing even more projects detailing specific features of the PSoC 4 and providing more complex examples. The following list is an example of those projects:
- More LED Control designs (LED Blinky!)
- More digital and analog sensors
- More analog-heavy designs, using the OpAmps, Comparators and other on-chip Analog resources
- More complex designs – complete systems, similar to the ‘’
What would you like to see?
As we move through the last 50 project we would love to hear from the community on projects they would like to see, shields they would like to see used, and applications that we might have missed. Please post those comments below and we will look into scheduling those examples for the future.

- Smaller Download (see below)
Please feel free to download the first 50 examples, copy them to your computer, make a torrent and start seeding, make CDs and pass them out to your friends, or give them away as early Christmas gifts.
My only request, your only cost, for the download is to comment below. If you’ve been a casual watcher, lurker, or active member of this series please let us know that you’ve downloaded the file, that the download worked for you, or comment to say 'Hello'.
We wish all of you the best and we are looking forward to the next 50 projects.
Best,
