Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY3240-I2USB Kit. The CY3240-I2USB can be used with the
Bridge Control Panel that is installed with PSoC Programmer. The kit is designed to test, tune, and
debug programs that have an I2C slave interface. This document describes the working of CY3240
and includes example projects, which will help you get started with the bridging tool. You can also
develop custom programs using PERL, Python, C++, and C# languages. These custom applications
allow generating complex testing, debugging, and validation systems using PSoC Programmer
COM.
You can evaluate the kit using the example projects provided with the kit. The example projects help
to:
■
Explore I2C-USB communication between the PC and slave interfaced via I2C slave interface
connector of the bridge
■
Customize the designs provided along with the kit
The CY3240 I2C-USB Bridge board is configured with the I2C-USB Bridge Board example project
when shipped. See Chapter 5 for more details.
Chapter 2 of this document describes the installation and configuration of CY3240-I2USB. Chapter 3
explains the programming of a PSoC 1 device with PSoC Programmer and how to use the kit with
the help of an example project. Chapter 4 describes the hardware operation. Chapter 5 provides
instructions to create a simple example project. The Appendix section provides the schematics and
BOM for the CY3240-I2USB kit.
Evaluate the sample projects provided with the kit and then experiment with the kit hardware and
software to create your own designs.
