This code example shows how to create a user-interface solution using an E-INK display and CapSense.
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.
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.
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).
This code example demonstrates Direct Test Mode (DTM) over the Host Controller Interface (HCI) using PSoC 6 MCU with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Connectivity.
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.
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.
This code example demonstrates how to maximize the BLE throughput on PSoC 6 MCU with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Connectivity device.
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.
PSoC 6 bridges the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low‑performance microcontrollers (MCUs). The ultra‑low‑power PSoC 6 MCU architecture offers the processing performance needed by IoT devices, eliminating the tradeoffs between power and performance. The PSoC 6 MCU contains a dual‑core architecture, with both cores on a single chip. It has an Arm® Cortex®‑M4 for high‑performance tasks, and an Arm® Cortex®‑M0+ for low-power tasks, and with security built-in, your IoT system is protected.
