Overview

The CY8CKIT-031CY8CKIT-031 PSoC CapSense Expansion Board Kit enables you to develop CapSense solutions with PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 devices.This kit is designed for use with the CY8CKIT-001CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Kit (sold separately), CY8CKIT-030CY8CKIT-030 PSoC 3 Development Kit (sold separately) and CY8CKIT-050CY8CKIT-050 PSoC 5 Development Kit (sold separately). This kit enables you to develop CapSense solutions with the CY3280 Universal CapSense Module boards. The CapSense component in PSoC Creator allows you to develop CapSense solutions with ease. The code examples provided along with this kit give sample solutions.

The CY3280-BMMCY3280-BMM Matrix Button Module consists of eight LEDs as well as eight CapSense sensors organized in a 4x4 matrix format to form 16 physical buttons. The CY3280-SLMCY3280-SLM Linear Slider Module consists of five CapSense buttons, one linear slider (with ten sensors) and five LEDs. The above 2 module connects to any CY3280 Universal CapSense Controller Board.

The new PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 architectures enable CapSense on all devices and the CapSense signals can be routed to any of the GPIO pins (up to 62). Due to the vast amount of programmable analog and digital resources available in these devices, as well as the higher performance CPUs and larger memory sizes, PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 make great single chip solutions. Typically these applications have a microcontroller doing various functions and a separate CapSense solution. PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 enable integration of these two devices into a single chip solution. What's more, PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 CapSense leverages the revolutionary SmartSense auto tuning solution.

Cypress's SmartSense solution is the industry's first and only true self-tuning system. This patent-pending solution optimizes parameters automatically during the design process, significantly reducing development time, while providing the most robust and quality CapSense solution on the market.

Development Tools

Software Development Tools:

Tool Type	Supplier	MPN	Supported Family	Description
IDE	Cypress	PSoC Designer	PSoC 1	PSoC Designer IDE accelerates system bring-up and time-to-market. Develop the applications using a library of pre-characterized analog and digital peripherals in a drag-and-drop design environment. Then, customize the design leveraging the dynamically generated API libraries of code. Finally, debug and test the designs with the integrated debug environment including in-circuit emulation and standard software debug features. PSoC Designer supports the entire library of PSoC 1 devices.
Programmer Software	Cypress	PSoC Programmer	All PSoC	The PSoC Programmer software tool supports all Cypress PSoC programming hardware and PSoC devices. PSoC Programmer is a simple GUI that connects to programming hardware to program and configure PSoC devices. From the GUI users will be able to select the target device, configure programming selections and execute a number of programming actions such as Program, Read, Verify and Erase. PSoC Programmer is a required installation for both PSoC Creator and PSoC Designer.
IDE	Cypress	PSoC Createor	PSoC 3 / PSoC 4 / PSoC 5 / PSoC 5LP	PSoC Creator is a state-of-the-art software development IDE combined with a revolutionary graphical design editor to form a uniquely powerful hardware/software co-design environment. This co-design approach frees embedded designers from hardware re-spins and software hacks. It also enables immediate testing of new ideas, rapid response to hardware changes, and error-free software interaction with on-chip peripherals. Learn More
