I wanted to post an update to this.

First off: anyone who needs a PSoC 6 Pioneer kit, they are on their way to me. I got the tracking number so I should get them shortly. In addition, I have ordered 5 Honeywell Sensor Shields (SEK002) for all of you. Before looking at the datasheet, I casually assumed that the sensors were placed on the shield, as they are on other shields/expansion boards. After looking at the datasheet, I assumed incorrectly. I believe Enrico mentioned that too. So, I need to get some information regarding the sensors, etc. This is what is happening:

I will order everyone a micropressure sensor (MRP) series. But you have to tell me which one. So go here, and select the one that you need. If you don't need one, tell me that too:

ABP Series

Tell me which one you need from the ABP series: https://uk.farnell.com/search?st=honeywell%20abp

Humidicon Series

Tell me which one you need from this series: https://uk.farnell.com/search?st=honeywell%20humidicon

I'm not including the particle count sensors because I don't expect they are need for the medical application.

So look over these links and tell me which ones you need and I'll order them.

It looks like we need to select digital sensors only...(all the digital sensors on the Farnell page are I2C)

I think the PSoC6 can directly connect to any of the 3.3V sensors including analog sensors and any of the I2C sensors.The 5 V sensors may need some thought about voltage level conversion.

The SEK002 (sensor evaluation kit) shield seems to include alternate power pins and some sensor footprints that map to standard arduino pins. It looks like there is arduino software available to evaluate sensors on this shield. We will have to see if it is at all portable to PSoC.

Either way, it won't be hard to get a PSoC to work with these sensors.

I agree, it shouldn't be too hard with PSoC.

The Arduino software is a compiled HEX file. So not much we can do other than see what it does on an Arduino. This software allows the Arduino to interface with a Honeywell desktop app - refer to the operating instructions PDF found under technical documents on this page.

image source: Honeywell PDF (document no. 32333651 Issue A)

This document refers to this link which you can download the windows installation executable: https://sensing.honeywell.com/sensors/evaluation-kit

Once installed it allows you to create graphs and capture data etc. in real time. You need the product serial number to run.

I cannot run it as yet (no serial numbers) but when open it looks like this software communicates with Arduino via the serial port. It is difficult to work out at this stage whether it is using any messaging protocol, such as Firmata. We will find out when getting the sensor and running the demo app on an Arduino.
