Introduction

This repository contains examples and demos for PSoC 6 MCU family of devices, a single chip solution for the emerging IoT devices. PSoC 6 MCU bridges the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low‑performance microcontrollers (MCUs). The ultra‑low‑power, dual-core architecture of PSoC 6 MCU offers the processing performance needed by IoT devices, eliminating the tradeoffs between power and performance.

Cypress provides a wealth of data at www.cypress.com to help you select the right PSoC device and effectively integrate it into your design. Visit our PSoC 6 MCU webpage to explore more about PSoC 6 MCU family of device. Feel free to explore through the code example source files and let us innovate together!

Navigating the Repository

Cypress provides PSoC 6 MCU based development kits for various family of PSoC 6 devices. These development kit helps you validate your prototype design before starting the actual design development. Refer to the Hardware section for the list of PSoC 6 development kits.

Each Development Kit is packaged with set of code examples which can get you started with PSoC 6 MCU as well as develop the hardware for your application by using the Kit hardware configuration as a reference. This repository contains all the kit related examples and the kit user guide. Refer to the respective kit user guide for the project implementation details.

If you are new to developing projects with PSoC 6 MCU, we recommend you to refer the PSoC 6 Getting Started GitHub page which can help you familiarize with device features and guides you to create a simple PSoC 6 design with PSoC Creator IDE. For other block specific design please visit the following GitHub Pages:

You can use these block level examples to guide you through the development of a system-level design using PSoC 6 MCU. All the code examples in this repository comes with well documented design guidelines to help you understand the design and how to develop it. The code examples and their associated documentation are in the Code Example folder in the repository.

Code Examples List

CY8CKIT-062-BLE Pioneer Kit

1. CE218133 - PSoC 6 MCU E-INK Display with CapSense

This code example shows how to create a user-interface solution using an E-INK display and CapSense.

2. CE218135 – PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: BLE with Proximity

This code example demonstrates connectivity between the PSoC 6 MCU with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and CySmart BLE host emulation tool or mobile device running the CySmart mobile application, to transfer CapSense proximity sensing information.

3. CE220167 – PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: BLE with User Interface

This code example demonstrates interfacing PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity (PSoC 6 MCU) with user interface functions such as an E-INK display, RGB LED, and touch sensors based on self and mutual capacitance (CapSense CSD and CSX). These functions provide bi-directional BLE connectivity between the PSoC 6 MCU and a PC running the CySmart™ BLE Host Emulation tool or a mobile device running the CySmart mobile application.

4. CE220186 – PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: RTC with Current Time Service

This code example demonstrates accurate time keeping with PSoC 6 MCU’s real-time clock (RTC), which is synchronized with a current time server such as an iPhone using the BLE current time service (CTS).

5. CE220272 - PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: Direct Test Mode

This code example demonstrates Direct Test Mode (DTM) over the Host Controller Interface (HCI) using PSoC 6 MCU with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Connectivity.

6. CE220335 – PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: Eddystone Beacon

This code example demonstrates a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon that broadcasts the core frame types (UID, URL, and TLM) of Google’s Eddystone beacon profile.

7. CE220675 – PSoC 6 MCU: Motion Sensor

This code example demonstrates how to interface a PSoC 6 MCU with a BMI160 motion sensor. This example reads steps counted by the sensor to emulate a pedometer. Raw motion data is also read and used to estimate the orientation of the board.

8. CE222046 – PSoC 6 BLE Throughput Measurement

This code example demonstrates how to maximize the BLE throughput on PSoC 6 MCU with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Connectivity device.

9. CE220567 – PSoC 6 MCU with BLE Connectivity: BLE Thermometer

This code example demonstrates interfacing PSoC 6 MCU with a thermistor circuit to read temperature information and sending the data over Bluetooth Low Energy Health Thermometer Service (HTS) to a mobile device running CySmart mobile application.
