Tech First Kit-CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR-CY3271-PSOC-Dev kit

The CY3271 is designed to quickly evaluate the flexibility, integration, and mixed signal capabilities of Cypress Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC). This evaluation is aided by a wide variety of sample projects.

You can use the sample projects to explore:

• PSoC's programmable analog and digital blocks to interface to common sensors (such as thermistors) and actuators (such as LEDs). In addition, you can also create common serial interfaces (for example, SPI and I2C).
• PSoC Designer Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to create embedded designs using two methods: traditional chip-level designs that involve writing code, and code free system level designs.
• Cypress 2.4 GHz CyFi Low-Power RF technology to easily add reliable, simple, and powerefficient wireless connectivity to your embedded designs.

• One PC dongle with RF
• One RF expansion card with power amplification for long-range applications
• One multifunction expansion card
• Two battery packs (2xAAA and CR2032)

PC Bridge (FTPC)

• Program all PSoC devices in the CY3271 kit
• Act as a bridge between all boards in the CY3271 system and the PC, using a USB-to-I2C interface
• Feature a CyFi low-power RF transceiver (with RF output power up to +20 d Bm). When this is combined with an onboard PSoC, it acts as the Hub in CyFi wireless networks.

RF Expansion Card (FTRF)

The RF Expansion Card (FTRF) features a PSoC device and a CyFi transceiver (with RF output power up to +20 dBm). FTRF serves the following functions:

• Combined with one of the power packs, it can act as a standalone CyFi wireless node with an onboard thermistor for temperature measurements.
• With its female expansion header, it can be used as a CyFi low-power RF module to add wireless connectivity to boards that are connected to it. For example, connecting the MultiFunction Expansion Card (FTMF) into the FTRF Card enables you to wirelessly transmit the values of the sensors on FTMF to the PC.
• Its male interface header features an I2C interface and unused GPIOs. This enables you to use

MultiFunction Expansion Card (FTMF)

The MultiFunction Expansion Card (FTMF) features a PSoC device, and several sensors and actuators that enable easy experimentation:

• 7-element CapSense slider
• CapSense proximity sensor
• Thermistor
• Ambient light level sensor
• Red or green or blue triple LED cluster
• Speaker

The FTMF interface header also features an I2C interface and four unused GPIOs for prototyping in your own system.

AAA Power Pack (AAA)

The AAA Power Pack houses 2 AAA batteries, and can be used to power either the FTRF, FTMF, or both of them in series.

CR2032 Power Pack (CR2032)

The CR2032 Power Pack houses a CR2032 coin cell battery, and can be used to power the FTRF for ultra low-power wireless applications.
