Need Someone for a Project: Cypress PSoc6 BLE kit +  Honeywell Pressure Sensor Shield

rscasny

I was contacted by a supplier who is interested in giving hardware for free to someone who could do a project for them featuring  Cypress's PSoc6 BLE kit +  Honeywell Pressure Sensor Shield.

 

They would like the person to do the following:

 

Interface the pressure sensors of the Honeywell Sensor Shield with the PSoC 6 analog/digital peripherals and then transmit data via BLE or showcasing it on the E-ink display of the PSoC 6 BLE Kit. The project should have some kind of medical application. For example, measuring pressure in some kind of health/medical application.

 

Just to refresh your mind, here are the parts involved:

Click here for more information on this Honeywell Sensor Shield. I have not roadtested this product.

 

I would like to do this sometime in October. I'd like to get it accomplished in a month--the shorter time period is why I am not offering it as a roadtest.

 

If you are interested, feel free to comment below.

 

thanks.

    The micropressure sensor (MRP) series device is a surface mount part that does have a location on the Shield for one at S4 on the board if it is soldered to the Sensor Shield.  I suppose one could try to run wires between the Sensor shield and the MRP if one was careful.  

     

    I'll have to look over these and send you a message with my selection and a description of what I plan to do.

    Good point. The supplier told me that you connect the micropressure sensor with wires /cable like this:

    I'll have to get that for you.

    Sounds like an interesting road-test to me. I would also be interested to participate in this road-test. I read the pre-written blogs and they are done well written. I liked the swipe functionality on the PSOC board.

     

    To mention; I have worked before with an I2C based Honeywell pressure sensors for a project. They are very accurate. My pressure sensor had a small nozzle on top of the IC where I connected a pipe and a small syringe with a T-style input. One end went to the syringe and other to a mini barometer. When I sucked the air out of the syringe, the barometer reading went low. So I cross-checked my software data with the real data and they were accurate to the 2 decimal points.

    I want to participate in this road-test if there are still places available.

    Yes, that's a suggestion that I wanted to present as well.
    This adapter is described in the datasheet.

    I am currently preparing to determine the components.

    As I mentioned, I need both boards, the Cypress's PSoc6 BLE kit also the Honeywell pressure sensor shield.

    About the sensors I will write to you tomorrow, or at the latest on Monday.
    For now, I downloaded the software and datasheets.

     

    Because of the sensor ABPDLNN100MG2A5 I also wanted to contact Honeywell.

    He seems to be nowhere to be found instead you can get the  ABPDLNN100MG2A3ABPDLNN100MG2A3 anywhere

    Therefore, I also thought, if not could be a typo in the manual, so I want to ask.

     

    Best Regards

    Yeah, that PBC is shown in the following doc:

    https://sensing.honeywell.com/honeywell-sensing-sensor-evaluation-kit-sek002-data-sheet-32333738-a-en.pdf

     

    The trick still is to get the part mounted on the PCB or the Shield. I'm thinking some solder mask and a Toaster Oven might work.

     

    I wonder if there is a difference between the Leadless SMT device and the DIP formatted Pressure Sensor devices.

    Hi Randall ,

     

    Now, for my project looks the best:

    MPRLS0025PA00001A (Farnell No: 2811406)

     

    also for tests, learning, selecting if this devices would be better to the project:

    ABPDRRT005PG2A5 (Farnell No: 2496756);

     

    ABPLANT015PD2A5 (Farnell No: 2773682); leadless, This sensor would also be used in the "smart home", in which area I mainly work.

    http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2581158.pdf?_ga=2.121799881.316146039.1538161893-907054817.1537274526

    The test pcb as you mentioned (it is described in the datasheet), I didn't find on the Farnell webshop.

    If you can get one, it would ask as well to get one test pcb for this sensor (2773682).

     

    Humidicon sensor:

    HIH8120-021-001 (Farnell No: 2350463) SIL4, I2C, w/o filter, w/o digital outputs

     

    HIH8131-021-001 (Farnell No: ?; I didn't find the number) - SOIC8, I2C, w filter, with digital outputs

    http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1927621.pdf?_ga=2.75659989.1337994729.1538399547-907054817.1537274526

    This device would be nice because it also has digital outputs for e.g. switched devices;

    it is not yet planned directly to this project, but to a very small temperature controlled switch.

    Here, I will use it together with a 6 pin µController from Microchip.

    You gave me some great ideas with this great opportunity in the project. Thank you.

     

    And as above mentioned, I need also the Cypress's PSoc6 BLE kit +  Honeywell Pressure Sensor Shield.

     

    Thank you very much.

    Best Regards

    Gerald
