PSoC™ 4

I have a MiniProg3, trying to get it to connect to PSoC Creator. When I first pulled it out of the box and plugged it in, I followed the steps in the MiniProg3 Program and Debug Guide . PSoC Creator said "Firmware is not fully loaded and device cannot be detected. Please Reconnect." I went through the troubleshooting steps on this forum post, including the Troubleshooting PSoC-3-4-5LP Programming Debugging Issues document, but nothing changed.  The message was the same whether the MiniProg3 is connected to the target board or not.

Finally I replaced the included USB cable with another one I had on hand. It started working!

For a few days anyway. But now it doesn't work with any of my USB cables. I tried unplugging all the other USB devices and that didn't help. The behavior is the same on my work computer and my home computer.

Now when I try to program in PSoC Creator, it goes to the select target screen and hangs for a long time (see screenshot).

In PSoC Programmer, it says it connects and I get the blue dot by the MiniProg3 serial number, but there is a red FAIL in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Does that mean that my MiniProg3 needs replaced? Or are there some other troubleshooting ideas I can try?

Hello, I've used the PSOC 4 and PSOC 5 and like using the PSOC Creator IDE for code development. I've now stumbled on the GUI generation with the PSOC microcontrollers. I want to learn more, can anyone tell me what software I need in order to create GUI's for the PSOC 4 and 5?  Are there any videos on the steps to create GUI's? Kinda like the PSOC 101 videos on youtube.

Thank you

Hi

I want to make an application to get my notifications from an iphone through psoc 4 ble. I'm subscribing to ANCS service, i get the notifications, and after i want that data to send to windows to a java or c# application. What I don't know how to do or if it's possible: how do I make the connection between psoc and windows to send the data.

Hello everybody,

I have the following problem: I have two glued boxes which have only 2 free GPIOs and where I have no acceess to the other GPIOs. The two boxes should be able to communicate via UART. For Tx( transmit) there is a ready-to-use block which I can put on each GPIO.

For Rx, there is no such a ready-to-use block an I have taken the source code from another forum post.(https://community.infineon.com/t5/PSoC-4/Software-Based-Uart-Receive/m-p/220861)

I can only receive characters if there is no delay in the source code. If I have a CyDelay() in my source code, then the Software Based Uart Receive no longer works.

Is there a solution to this? If you use an SCB UART block, you can only use certain GPIO pins. Can the GPIO pin somehow be forwarded to another GPIO pin? I am testing it on the Piosnieer Kit 042 with a PSoC 4200, but on the box itself is a PSoC 4100.

Hi,

Working on a wireless capacitance sensor based on the  CY8C4248LQI-BL583. All components are rated to 85 degC or more.

The sensor works fine in room temperature but raising the temp makes it fail as early as 51 degC.

Failure temperature depends on which software I run on the sensor board. With the simple "Find Me" example failure occurs at around 70 degC.

I have tried heating various components e.g. oscillators and capacitors. But most indications points towards that it is the MCU that fails.

I understand the the information provided is not enough to pinpoint the root cause of the problem. I'm rather asking for troubleshooting advice.

Hi,

We restart an old project developped with CY8C5568LTI-114 and we want to open the associated project. For the moment, we just want to analyse the firmware. After that, we redesign the product and we change the microcontroller.

The problem is we can't open the project because the old microcontroller is not recognize by the software PSoC Creator 4.4.
Could you help us to open this old project please ?

Best regards,

Thomas
