Obviously a language barrier. The dark blue pcb is the PSoC5 processor module, the light blue pcb is a PSoC1 and the green one is a PSoC3 processor module. Get acquainted to the documentation of your Kit-001 (I have got a similar one) and try to find out whether you have got an older model or a new one. The difference is: the older kits have got a PSoC5 processor module which isn't supported any more, while the newer have got an PSoC5 LP module.

   

 

   

At first install the Kit's software (Creator, programmer, example programs and documentation files).

   

Before updating to latest version via internet, check for the version of Creator, should be 3 something, otherwise you likely have got a PSoC without the "LP" marking. You should upgrade processor module, contact your local Cypress FAE.

   

There is a connector on the mainboard to connect a radio chip to, refer to the schematics provided by cypress.

   

 

   

Connect your kit via USB (check in documentation WHICH of the two USB ports) to your PC and wait for driver loaded.

   

If the kit hasn't been programmed yet a test-program will be executed, verifying that everything is ok.

   

 

   

When done so far, tell us your experiences and we will continue helping you.

We'd like to, but what are exactly your specifications for "passive keyless switch entry". Are you referring to CapSense?

   

What exactly do you want to perform?

   

I would suggest you setup your kit with the PSoC5LP processor module and get the USB-connection working so that you may program and debug your project.

The kit you have covers 3 PSOC families, so first you would select a family

   

for the design. With the kit you can write code, program a PSOC module, and debug.

   

Once you get to final design finsih you would clone the project to the specific PSOC part

   

you have choosen, and go to production.

   

 

   

You need to select a radio chip, like PRoC www.cypress.com/, or Zigbee, PSOC BLE

   

www.cypress.com/psoc4ble/, whatever end design requirements are, and in The PSOC

   

design tools Creat your design, and interface to the radio chip. PRoC BLE might be a good

   

fit to consider - www.cypress.com/procble/

   

 

   

We can help select a family, depends on your volumes, overall specs (saying keyless entry is not

   

a spec), design goals, etc.. PSOC 4 is super low cost, ARM core, PSOC 1 also has super low

   

cost parts, but older family with proprietary core. I would start with PSOC 4 and examine your

   

requirements and see if you can match them up to PSOC 4 family.

   

 

   

An overview of Passive Keyless Entry (using pSOC 1) www.cypress.com/

   

 

   

Starting here is a good place - www.cypress.com/psoc/ and here video.cypress.com/video-library/

   

 

   

Also contact your local FAE and manufacturers rep for a visit, they are a

   

wealth of info and can help you and guide you down the right path.

The forum assistants in many instances have a normal work career

   

and can only assist part time. Also it takes a number of people due

   

to varying levels of expertise and experience to help a person here.

   

 

   

So simply post your questions here and the forum will do its best to

   

assist you. And you will benefit from the diversity of experience the

   

forum has.

   

 

   

I do not speak for all the forum contributors, you may find someone here

   

that will work with you on a direct basis.

There is a Cypress office in Bangalore, look here secure.cypress.com/.

   

And: No, I do not want to be contacted via eMail.

   

The kit you have got is this one: www.cypress.com/ on that page you find lots of documentation including the schematics.

   

Download and install the required software packages and start to learn what PSoCs are, there are lots of example projects to get your kicks from.

A series of videos here in case you have never used a PSOC or

   

its IDE, Creator -

   

 

   

    

   

          http://video.cypress.com/video-library/video/PSoC-Software

   

 

   

    

   

          http://www.cypress.com/psoc/?source=CY-ENG-HOMEPAGE&medium=Body-Products Overview of PSOC familes

   

 

   

You will find both Designer (PSOC 1) and Creator (PSOC 3, 4, 4 BLE, 5LP) there.

   

Your kit supports all these families.

 hi sir, 

   

          vinay here, i want to re-discuss my issue with u. I gave an attachment a jpg format image which displays the kit which is with me and i want to do a project which is regrading wireless connectivity(passive keyless entry switch application) which needs wireless device to work on the project. so i came to know tht the kit which is with me has got wireless device or module so with the source of cypress forum and ur replies i came to know tht i can use "CYRF6936: WirelessUSB™ LP 2.4 GHz Radio SoC" and "CYRF7936-40LTXC" as an wireless connectivity support and thanks for tht. But the situation here is tht i am not sure tht,does these two modules mentioned above can support the kit which i have or not . 

   

 

   

So can u please give me an pleasent idea abt my issue ...if the modules does support then pls let me know what is the accurate module to go through and the links of them...

   

 

   

the only issue i got is tht i am doing actually studing on my own ... the only help i am getting from is u sir ...i hope u understand and to mention i am from hyderabad and in my knowledge there is no institute or company which work on PSoC...so tht is the only issue ,,...n to say Forum is the only hope i got .... thank u

The 6936 has a SPI interface. The -001 kit MCU modules

   

can interface to the SPI interface, which then allows you

   

to control the 6936 by writing software on the -001 kit.

   

 

   

The 7936 can also be used with -001 kit, again you would

   

interface to this chip using the SPI interface and writing software

   

on the -001 kit,

   

 

   

Regards, Dana.
