OppaErich 25 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Two of each arrived from Mouser Germany, they charged €3.20 per stick. 41xx runs at 24 MHz and 42xx at 48 MHz max. Needed to provide a LOT of personal information for registration at Cypress. Registration is needed to get to download the PSoC Creator IDE. A nice set of video tutorials enabled me to get the thing to blink in about an hour. Blinky in hardware No code involved, just drag'n'drop the hardware components to the project, alter the settings, wire up and assign pins. The snap-off part is just an USB-Serial brigde. Windows 7 found the needed drivers on its own. The sticks come with a bootloader preloaded for programming, no debugging. A JTAG adapter for these is about $100. StellaLP for size comparison. Forget the Bootloadable and you have a nice $4 paper weight or buy a JTAG adapter ! dubnet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tingo 22 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yes, registration was painful, but cheap stuff is hard to resist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
