Hi,

I am looking for a simple guide on how to connect a sensor to the BLE module (CY8C4248). not just the programming part, but also how the pins are connected. I prefer a low energy sensor as my final goal is to implement a low power sensor with BLE module and receive its data

Hi @Answer 

 

These can be connected to any GPIO. For low power mode, you can make sure the CPU is in deep sleep mode whenever idle. It can be woken up using a WDT periodically so that the value of the thermistor can be checked and updated. 

You can take a look at this AN and its associated code example for reference - https://www.cypress.com/documentation/application-notes/an86233-psoc-4-low-power-modes-and-power-red...

 

Best regards, 

Hari
