Miniprog4 vs Miniprog3. Which one should I buy?

[jcsb1994]

Hi, I am looking for the best way to program my PSoC 4100S series project.

Does miniprog4 have all the features of the miniprog3 for PSoC 4 devices? I could not find a table that compares both program/debug kits.

Basically, I just want to know if I could make a mistake by choosing miniprog4 instead of miniprog3. Does miniprog4 have any additional features?

And is it possible to use them with PSoC creator or do I have to export my projects to hex files to program chips with the PSoC programmer software (and how do we export projects to prepare them for psoc programmer)?

Thanks!

Hi JeSi_4326976​,

if you intend to use PSoC 1 or PSoC 3, among other PSoCs, then Minipro3 is the solution.

Otherwise Miniprog4 is the best solution. Don't forget the 6x2 header which provide a valuable bridging capabilities: USB-I2C, USB-SPI and USB-UART. More on table bellow. I don't pretend it's complete but you can get an idea.

Best regards,
