CY8CKIT-022 Kit
The
kit contains capacitive sensors attached to a liquid container. These sensors can
be interfaced with PSoC 4 devices present on Cypress PSoC 4 Pioneer Kits through Arduino-
compatible headers, as shown in
Figure 2-9. CY8CKIT-022 System Block Diagram
In the
system, the CapSense circuitry in the PSoC device on the baseboard (such as
) senses the changes in the capacitance of the liquid level sensors on the
CY8CKIT-022 kit. The PSoC calculates the liquid level based on the information about capacitance
changes on different sensors received from the CapSense block.
You can program the PSoC device on the baseboard through the onboard KitProg hardware, which
communicates to the software programming tool (
) through the USB interface on
the board. You can develop firmware applications for PSoC 4 devices by using PSoC Creator.
provides code example projects that you can use with the CY8CKIT-022 system to
implement liquid level sensing solutions.
