PSoC™ Creator & Designer Forum Discussions

          Hello everyone,

i am new in the community and currently working on building a demonstrator for our conductive film. I have some problems which i can't figure out myself. Hope someone can give me some advice.

I plan to separate the conductive film into 10 isolated sliders. When we touch any of the slider, there will be visual indication of touched slider with LCD and LEDs, meanwhile, there will be sound effect too.

I  ordered the CY8CKIT-050B Kit, which contains CapSense CSD component with two Bottons and five Linear Sliders.
Normally if we use the sensor buttons or sliders on the kit, we need to add a CapSense_CSD component to the hardware design schematic file (TopDesign.cysch). After that we can configure the sliders or buttons and assign the slider segments to corresponding IO Pins.

In my opinion, there are two approaches:

1) I connect  my conductive sliders to the sensor button and sliders on the kit with wires. But the problem is: there are only 2 buttons and 5 sliders, which are not enough for 10 conductive strips.

2) I connect my conductive sliders directly to the GPIOs and use them as external sensor compenents. But will that work? How can i realize it in my Topdesign schematic? Can I also somehoe use CapSense_CSD?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Is there a method to detect that the bootloader has loaded a new version of a bootloadable.  The reason I ask is the bootloadable program needs to set the default values of a number of parameters in EEPROM after a new version has been loaded into the PSoC 3.  Currently I have the user set the default values via a clickable entry in a host application.   I would like to have the newly uploaded bootloadable program detect that it is a new version and set the defaults automatically.  Is there register bit somewhere that gets set by the bootloader when it loads new firmware?  This bit would then be reset by the bootloadable program.  (Something along that line)

I hope that made sense.

Thanks,

Ron

Is somebody else having problem with the gmtime() function after the PSoC Creator 3.1 upgrade? The code below is not completing as the gmtime() function is never returning. It used to work fine before the update...

#include <project.h> #include <time.h>  /*!  * Starts the Application.  */  int main() {     time_t seconds = 1420663532;     struct tm *ts = gmtime(&seconds);      return 0; }  

Hello everyone,

I have developed a capsense board with 5 buttons & a slider.

         I intend to use these boards for the electrical switching applications like light, fan with regulators T.V. etc.

                I want to know will they function like the normal mechanical swiches or not for longer durational operations.

I wish to know the +ve & -ve effects on the board if I keep the apps running continuously for longer durations (suppose for complete 1 day).

Will that degrade the performance of the board with such operating over the period of time?

If it does what are the remedies you would suggest me?

Thanks & Regards-

Amit

 Migrating 2.2 project to 3.0. 

Used the more advanced clock editor to match our hand modified settings. 

Writes to CYREG_FASTCLK_XMHZ_CFG0 and CYREG_FASTCLK_XMHZ_CSR are identical.

Code always ends up in the error routine ?

Tried all kinds of different settings, configurations. Nothing helped...

Anyone else having these issues ?

 Hey guys i am interfacing arduino board with capsense MBR3,I have found the example project and was just going through the explaination. I didn't understand as in I have to configure capsense kit using arduino over I2C so whats EZ click used for?Cant I configure the capsense MBR3 through EZ click  and then plug the sheild n to arduino?

I very often to create a new project by copying it fragments from previous projects.
However, I found the problem:
I needed more pins, and I did not create anything and copied some of the other project.
Both projects use PSoC Creator 3.0 SP2 (3.0.0.3140)
The result - in the screenshot below.
It certainly is not terrible, all the problems are visible and they are easy to fix, but maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg.
So I have a question:
Can I copy components from one project to another?

I note in the example that the RTD_GetTemperature() API returns a 32 bit unsigned int.

I have written code based on the example and find that I cannot display values below 0. Casting the int as a foat does not convert the negative (I assume 2's complement) value into the appropriate negative temperature value.

Is there a convenient conversion or do we need to manually do a 2's complement on the resistance value?

rtdRes = (rtdVoltage * CAL_REF_RESISTOR / rtdCalVoltage) * 1000;  //convert to mOhms

rtdTemp = RTD_GetTemperature(rtdRes);    //Returns 2's complement value when rtdRes < 100,000 mOhms (PT100)

tempdisp = (float) (rtdTemp/100.0);

sprintf(strbuf,"%3.2f%c",tempdisp,13);

RS232_PutString(strbuf);
