The intersection of Beijing and news, comparable to the intersection of Plass and semi-conductive company, announce a few days ago, the intersection of 2010FIRST and the intersection of robot and his PSoC&reg match; 3 FirstTouch™ The kit lists in the match and chooses the part list. Have Plass match provide over 1900 made-to-order kit for FIRST already, use for taking the match robot of Radix angelicae morii. Student entrant team will adopt these tool kits among its robot control unit, originally link with Net surfing of the robot through USB.

PSoC3 framework comparable to Plass has unique programmable simulation and digital peripheral hardware, can realize for example motor control, intellectual power supply and battery are managed, such as CapSense® Touch induced man-machine interface, LCD row display, figure to control, and the sound / speech processing, communication agreement,etc.. PSoC Creator&reg related to it; Simulation and the figure that packs in advance that the integrated development environment has design method based on circuit diagram and is totally tested are set up, can customize the customer through user's ocular guide and API, in order to meet the special designing requirement. PSoC Creator makes the engineers design according to its autogenous thinking way, thus shorten the listing time of products by a wide margin. Data book, employing notes, in information such as the training of line, developing instrument, free PSoC Creator downloading and device sample wafer, can get from the following website: www.cypress.com/go/psoc.

PSoC 3 FirstTouch elementary kit (CY8CKIT-003) Can help the artificer to be familiar with the new PSoC3 framework. It includes a sensor array, I/O, project and software, and serial connection debugging device (SWD) One accelerometer, one thermal resistor, close to reaction, CapSense, one 12 stitch limitless the intersection of module and plug and 28 common I/O base pins. The customer can obtain more information in the following website and order this kit at 49 dollars: http://www.cypress.com/? rID =38235.

It is said that comparable to the relation director Patrick Kane of Plass university: "We are very glad to participate in this remarkable project. PSoC is absolutely an ideal platform to student, offer and implement and test the chance of the new idea fast because of its flexibility and programmable characteristic. We are expecting the participants who have talent and imagination very much can design the robot making people pleasantly surprised. "

Besides the the ABC of tool, student also can choose, buy the intersection of AndyMark and whom Company produce, comparable to the intersection of Plass and mother vehicle and attachment am-0564, these tools contribute to protecting the ABC of tool, offer the usable screw terminal station at the same time, can connect the circuit board with other parts of the robot, thus can prevent the entrant from carrying on time consuming and strenuous welding and adopting the bread board. The details of these tools can be looked over through the following website: http://andymark.biz/am-0564.html. Comparable to Plass' mother vehicle and attachment am-0564 being made by eStop Robotics LLC Company of Pennsylvania state Ardran city. (www.estoprobotics.com )

PSoC - changes omnipresently

PSoC device adopts a and controls the systematic framework on the high configurated slice designed to being embedded, can offer the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) field programmable based on flashing memory Equivalent circuit, but does not need to advance one (lead-time) Or lump-sum non-repeating expenses (NRE) Loss. PSoC device been integrated through configurated simulation and digital circuit which the microcontroller controlled on every one, offer stronger design to revise the function, and further reduce the number of elements. The single PSoC device can be integrated and had the function, thus design time, plate electrode space and power consumption which save the customer outside 100 at most, improve the system quality and reduce the system cost at the same time. Can be got more information of PSoC products through the following websites: www.cypress.com/psoc. Can also visit www.cypress.com/psoctraining and participate in and train online free.

New PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 framework have high-accuracy programmable analogue functions (the analog-digital converter of the precision 20 - bit of maximum) And the programmable digital resources expanded, accord with canonial MCU kernel and sufficient memory and communication peripheral hardware of industry to integrate with the strong one together. PSoC 3 device have one 8 high performance - bit 8051 processor, but PSoC 5 adopt one strong 32 - bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor. These products have offered a jointless programmable platform to artificer, can realize the conversion of 8 to 32bit easily. The strong functions of these new solutions have expanded application and market range of PSoC greatly, including car, walkie medical treatment, industry,etc.. A serial kernels based on 8 - bit M8C that a cost optimize of PSoC.
