Seeking an Engineer to Evaluate Infineon's PSOC 4100T Plus Prototyping Kit

View table of contents

We are looking for some makers, developers, and prototyping engineers to review Infineon’s PSOC 4100T Plus Prototyping Kit. We’ll send you the hardware, which you get to keep. We pay for everything. You need only to post a review on our website

Description

The PSOC 4100T Plus Prototyping Kit for PSOC 4100T Plus MCU (CY8CPROTO-041TP ) is powered with Infineon's 5th Gen CAPSENSE technology. The PSOC 4100T Plus MCU offers advanced sensing capabilities and enables enhanced HMI and system control in a single chip. The kit offers a complete, out-of-the-box experience, allowing users to explore and assess the capabilities of Infineon’s 5th-generation CAPSENSE and Multi-Sense technology. The kit enables developers to create and test applications that leverage self/mutual capacitance sensing technologies

As part of this road test, we are also looking for testers to leverage interchangeable expansion cards found in a separate PSOC 4000T kit while road testing the new PSOC 4100T Plus prototyping kit. 

You will receive 2 kits, one for the product being reviewed (CY8CPROTO-041TP), and a separate kit (CY8CPROTO-040T-MS) which will include the relevant expansion cards, including: a hover touch board, liquid level sensing board, and some metal touch boards. You will use these expansion cards to attach to your PSOC 4100T Plus prototyping kit (CY8CPROTO-041TP) for expanded testing of hover, metal and liquid level sensing.

In the Modus Toolbox, CY8CPROTO-041TP based example codes are available for these expansion boards, for easier plug and play.

RoadTester Instructions

The preferred way to test it would be to use it with something you are currently working on. Otherwise, working with the documentation, open the box and test the out of the box experience. Show the reader of this review what you discovered utilizing text, images, videos, and/or any other media, so the reader understands what is involved in using the product.
