Hello, in designer there is a resource meter/indicator that will show all the used blocks digital / analog etc...but I have noticed in creator that I can add as many components as wanted (even way beyond the capacity of the PSOC) and it does not complain. Is there a way to tell exactly how much resources you have left/available like you did in designer?
Thanks

Resource meter does not seem to work. I drop digital blocks in and it does not show up on the resource meter..even after a build. What is the trick here? Also, there is no error received when you exceed a block resource. example...digital blocks available are 1 and I drop in 2 and there is no issue. why?

Resource meter shows usage after a build. Reason are the optimization process odidday1 spoke of. Just dropping a component onto the schematic does not alter the resource meters.

In Designer the Device Resource Meter reflects when you Drop a block in the sheet and instantly records the block used in real time. This is far superior compared to what is offered in Creator. In fact I am finding that Creator is not as robust as Designer. Another question I will ask is ...Is Designer going to be expanded to include other PSOCs.. like 3, 4, 5? If it will only support PSOC 1 then will PSOC 1 also include BLE, 8051, MO etc? thank you

Answer to that question is plainly: "No"
PSoC 1 family is very restricted compared to the other family members, so there it is quite easy to calculate the amount of needed resources for a component. Remember that you do not have something like gates or flip-flops or internal routable signals in a PSoC1.
You have inherent debug capabilities in the ARM cores which saves you an ICE-Cube, so imho a PSoC4 or 5 will always be my choice.

Thanks Bob for the reply. I will just focus on PSOC 3, 4, 5 projects going forward. Much appreciated.

Steve,
if it is not for the pricing at high volume rates, I would not use the PSoC3 but the PSoC5 instead.
The reason is: the CPU core which is an 8051 for the PSoC3, a design made in the '80. Compare that with an ARM M3 for speed, ease of use and performance as in the PSoC5.
