 hii s it possible to create a class f amplifier module using any of the psoc ?? if possible hpw. pls help

I'm not sure if this should be posted elsewhere but...

 Does anyone know of any quaternion libraries or functions geared towards microcontrollers like PSOC5?
It would be nice if Creator came with some extended math libraries for robotics or other 3D applications.

Can someone let me know how to change the font type and size for the code edit windows.

Cheers

Hi,

you can now find the production release on the Cypress website. No more Creator Beta releases.

To check important information such as minimum system requirements, changes to previous releases and more, please read the Release Notes first:

This is exciting!

 In military and medical applications, it is vital to know if the code you are running is what was written.  That is why the ECC idea is great.  I love that the processor takes care of this issue instead of me having to run a CRC on the Flash at run-time.  

I have written a simple piece of code that re-writes an instruction in flash after programming to force a fault.  For example, I set up a simple sum in normal code and then switch it to a subtraction afterwards.  When I turn on ECC mode, the ECC prevents the switch from occurring (great...ECC works!).  I haven't checked, but I imagine the subtract opcode is only 1-bit different from the add opcode.  The trouble is I can't figure out how to register the ISR code when a supposed ECC event occurs.  I have found allusions to this ability in the PSoC 5 datasheet and in several appnotes, but there are no examples or further information.  Does anyone have this working or have any suggestions?  My code is shown below.  It is a variation on what I found in an application note.  I have commented out my attempts at registering the ISR.  I tried a system-level interrupt (only available on the ARM) and a regular one.

Hi,

I am working with PSOC5 CY8CKIT-014. At the moment my exmerimental codes are very small <5% of code space. Nevertheless Creator software downloads 1024 blocks. I do not think this is really needed? I there a possibility to download only the needed blocks for faster download?

Thanks!

 Hi, basically i'm designing a capsense button and slider by using CY8C20424. i need to generate a PWM to drive a buzzer, does the psoc designer 5.1 have the PWM generator module? or any other way i can do?

thanks in advance.
