New PSoC 6 Wi-Fi kit for developing robust IoT and wearable applications

Mouser now stocks the CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT PSoC 6 Pioneer Kit from Cypress Semiconductor. Perfect for IoT applications and wearable devices, the kit allows the development of Wi-Fi applications employing a high-performance Cypress PSoC 6 microcontroller. The kit includes a PSoC 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Board, TFT display shield, necessary jumper wires, and a USB cable. The board allows header footprints for compatibility with Arduino UNO shields and Digilent Pmod modules with operating voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V. The board also incorporates an onboard programmer and debugger with mass storage programming and custom applications support as well as 512Mbits of NOR flash for expandable memory. The board’s five-segment slider, two buttons, and one proximity sensing header allow engineers to evaluate the latest generation of Cypress’ CapSense capacitive-sensing technology. The Pioneer Kit’s TFT display shield includes a 2.4-inch module, six-axis motion sensor, ambient light sensor IC, and PDM microphone for voice input. The PSoC 6 microcontroller benefits from Cypress’ proprietary ultra-low-power 40nm SONOS process technology, which allows industry-leading power consumption with 22µA/MHz and 15µA/MHz of active power on the Arm Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ cores, respectively. The powerful microcontroller also highlights software-defined analog and digital peripherals, multiple connectivity options and programmable AFE functions.
