RoadTest: CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Development Kit
Author: migration.user
Creation date:
Evaluation Type: Evaluation Boards
Did you receive all parts the manufacturer stated would be included in the package?: True
What other parts do you consider comparable to this product?: null
What were the biggest problems encountered?: Documentation available for creating a custom BLE profile is obscure at best. Considerable effort is required in understanding the Custom profile creation which is quite a contrast when compared to how easy Cypress PSOC makes implementation of other stuff.
Detailed Review:
THE KIT:
PSOC BLE 42 is packaged professionally and contains all components to get one started.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
PROGRAMMING:
the Component Catalog then connect using wires.
(i.e Instantiation name, Clock Source,
Pin mapping etc)
get the output (ADC’s output),handle the interrupt, etc.
API's are generated with "build Application"
4. Datasheets of every component are easily accessible from the settings window.
5. Once the designing and writing the code is done, the project is compiled and hex file is dumped to the kit.
6. If BLE is used, the kit can can be connected to the mobile using mobile app or to the PC using the CySmart and the USB dongle provided in the box.
Our Project:

Windows App:
Basic app was developed to receive the ECG data( in this case a sine wave), Demo here:
